Not theoretical. Not generic MBA content. This is for doctors making real moves.

Offered equity or an advisory role and need to know whether it's real upside or a title with no teeth.
Wanting business leverage without abandoning clinical medicine for some reckless leap of faith.
Most physicians who reach this page are already thinking about this. The question is whether you act on it or keep wondering.

Testimonials

"I wanted to open my own DPC clinics but I kept going in circles because I didn't know what I didn't know. Ben was the first person who actually walked me through the numbers, not the motivational version, the real ones. What kills cash flow, what a bad lease looks like, what questions to ask before signing anything. I opened my first location eight months later."

Who this is for (physicians)

  • Physicians vetting ownership, partnership, MSO, or equity deals (and want to know what to ask before signing)
  • Employed physicians building a realistic path into ownership, a side role, or consulting without blowing up clinical income
  • Physicians who want practical finance fluency: reading P&Ls, understanding cash flow, and pressure-testing a pro forma before committing time, capital, or reputation
  • Physicians who need a repeatable decision framework (what to do next week), not another pile of theory
  • Early-career physicians turning high income into long-term leverage: smarter contracts, better benefits, and a plan to pivot toward healthcare business over time

This is not hype. Its not a pitch to quit medicine.

Its a practical curriculum on the business of healthcare, built for busy physicians. You will learn how to evaluate real opportunities, speak the language of operators and investors, and build a personal plan you can execute alongside clinical work.

Expect checklists, templates, and simple frameworks you can apply to contracts, compensation models, practice financials, and ownership or equity offers; so you can make confident moves and gradually shift into more business-facing work if that's your goal.

About the Architect

Benjamin Todd

I've spent the last four years inside the financial guts of physician owned practices, restructuring their billing, renegotiating their contracts, and showing them where their money actually goes. That work turned into Health Bridge Solutions, the consulting firm I run now, where I partner with physician groups, hospitals, and imaging centers on the stuff nobody teaches in medical school: margins, payer mix, deal structure, and why your practice's P&L says one thing while your bank account says another. Along the way I got deep enough into the economics of radiology and medical imaging that I built a separate platform for it, Imaging Benchmark. Because the financial data in that space was so bad that people were making seven figure equipment decisions on gut feel.

I built this course because I kept having the same conversation. A smart, experienced doctor would sit across from me and say some version of: "I think I'm getting a bad deal but I don't know how to tell." Or: "Someone offered me equity and I don't know what I'm looking at." Or just: "I make good money and I have nothing to show for it and I don't understand why."

These aren't dumb people. These are people who never got taught how healthcare money works, and by the time they realize they need to learn, they've already signed something they shouldn't have, or spent three years avoiding a move they should have made.

I have an MBA in Finance from the University of Toledo. But most of what I teach comes from doing the work, sitting in the room when a practice realizes their top line revenue is a mirage, or when a physician figures out that the partnership they were offered gives them liability without equity. That pattern recognition is what's in the course.

Built for physicians who want a practical path into healthcare business

This is for practicing physicians who want more leverage than "work more shifts" - without pretending you can quit medicine overnight. You will build a clear, realistic path into the business side of healthcare using plain-English frameworks, decision tools, and templates you can apply to real opportunities (practice buy-ins, ancillaries, MSOs, advisory roles, and operator tracks).

Outcome: you leave with an actionable plan and the confidence to evaluate deals, ask the right questions, and take your next step while protecting your license, reputation, and time.

  • How money moves in healthcare (no fluff) - where margin is created, who captures it, and ethical ways physicians can participate
  • Financial literacy for physician-led businesses - reading an income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow with the metrics that actually drive value (margin, AR days, payer mix, wRVU vs collections, unit economics)
  • Evaluating common physician business models - group practice structures, ancillaries (imaging, ASC, cash-pay), MSOs, and JV operating models
  • Ownership and equity made usable - cap tables, vesting, distributions, and "what to ask before you sign" so you do not get trapped by bad terms
  • Deal and diligence checklists built for busy clinicians - what to verify before you commit time, capital, or your name (contracts, compliance, payers, staffing, quality, governance)
  • Reimbursement realities that drive strategy - how payer mix and contracting shape incentives, growth, and downside risk
  • Capital allocation for physicians - how to compare investing vs operating vs advising, and how to size risk responsibly based on your actual financial picture
  • Pivot pathways that match a real physician life - structured entry points into medical director, advisor, operator, and leadership roles (and how to stack them over 6-24 months)
  • Risk, governance, and "license protection" frameworks - how to protect your reputation while engaging in business arrangements

Practical tools you will actually use

  • Deal review checklist for buy-ins, partnerships, and advisory roles
  • Diligence question bank (what to ask, what documents to request, red flags)
  • Healthcare financial metrics cheat sheet (revenue, margin, AR, payer mix, CAC/LTV where applicable)
