title: The entrepreneurial physician.
abstract: This article draws on the experience of interviews of hundreds of physicians in the last few years. Those at mid-career have deep concerns about what lies ahead for them. A character, Dr. Charles Evans, has been created to describe some of the major possibilities being thought about and explored by physicians who believe their profession is now changing in ways they never had anticipated.
