WHAT IS MEDBIZ?
The Business Education
That Was Missing From Medical School
Juggling clinical work with the demands of running a private practice is a unique challenge. MedBiz was created to fill that gap, providing a genuine, content-rich educational day where doctors gain the knowledge, community, and trusted connections needed to build a thriving practice.
This is a forum built by industry experts. for medical specialists.
An enjoyable and relevant conference. The content was very valuable, and it was great to talk between presentations with guests and speakers.
The quality of the delegates this year was on another level. The roundtable format was fantastic for having real conversations.
I was concerned it might be a sales fare – but it was the antithesis of this. A very useful day!
