"Teaching medical students entrepreneurial and business skills is invaluable as the need for leadership in medicine grows in every single sector. Many physicians already engage in managerial and entrepreneurial-like practices without labeling these skills. By formalizing these skills into medical education, physicians will be able to take their ambitions and ideas about how to best run existing health care institutions and translate them into innovations for the future of the field."

Sofia Yunez is a medical student.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "To be effective leaders, physicians need to be trained as entrepreneurs and encouraged to innovate."
