This educational series is designed to help physicians better understand this evolving landscape and make informed, independent decisions when navigating complex business opportunities in medicine. Session 1: The Physician Experience This session centers on the real-world experiences of physicians who have directly engaged with private equity. Through candid discussion, panelists will share what the process actually looked like—from early conversations through post-transaction realities. Topics include how decision-making and governance changed, impacts on clinical practice and culture, unexpected challenges, and lessons learned that physicians should consider before entering discussions with private equity firms. The focus is practical, honest, and physician-to-physician—grounded in lived experience rather than theory.
