We dive into the evolving landscape of health care entrepreneurship with our guest, Tod Stillson, a family physician and entrepreneur. Tod shares his journey from traditional employment to establishing his own single-member professional micro-corporation, offering insights into the advantages of this innovative model. We discuss key strategies for minimizing overhead costs, leveraging technology for virtual care, and achieving location independence. Tod also provides valuable advice for healthcare professionals looking to balance their roles as healers and entrepreneurs and anticipates future trends in this dynamic sector.

He discusses the KevinMD article, "Dismantling the mythical dichotomy of physician career options."
