Personal Philosophy
Jim believes that modern healthcare professionals receive the best medical education in the world, but receive little or no education in the business of medicine in medical or professional school or during clinical training.
According to Dr. Phillips: Medicine may be a calling – but – the practice of medicine is a business.
Assessment:
Dr. Phillips’s quest for higher education led to the founding of: The OTHER Medical Education, Inc., a place where health care professionals can obtain the business education they need. Clients include a wide variety of health care professionals including physicians, dentists, pharmacists, veterinarians, podiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and others. These health care professionals may have their own practices, work within someone’s practice or be employed by a health care facility or company. They may or may not be involved in the decision making process of the practice. However, they recognize sound business practices even if not directly involved in the decision making process, and are involved in their own personal finances.
