title: Tips for a physician in getting the right job, Part XIV: Assessing some of the business and governance aspects of the practice.
abstract: The business and governance aspects of a practice are important factors in considering employment. These issues affect the income, quality, harmony, and stability of the group. The job seeker should ask how the group is organized and try to assess how well it is led. This includes observing the efficiency and quality of the clinical operation, seeing how well people get along and how helpful they are to each other, learning about the future plans of the group and how they were determined, and learning about the billing operation.
