I coordinate Dr. Brottman's Business of Medicine elective, and the demand speaks for itself. Spots are limited and fill quickly. If the course ran year-round, I have no doubt every rotation block would book out. Students consistently tell me how much they value what they learn about the business side of healthcare.

Four decades in practice
I am a general pediatrician who was in practice for nearly four decades. I built and managed a private practice, and navigated the employment transitions, contracts, malpractice, leadership, marketing and financial decisions this course covers. This is not a theory-based course.
I also act as a lifetime mentor for my students, who can reach out to me for no-cost help, for life. It's not a sales pitch, its a promise.
