Physicians Helping Physicians Thrive

What We Do

The rewards of practicing medicine independently are often overshadowed by the complexities of running a business and the changing healthcare landscape. The goal of PMAG’s Bridges to Independent Practice Program is to help you navigate these challenges and allow you to experience the satisfaction of practicing medicine your way. PMAG works with physicians in all stages of their career. Whether you are a resident considering private practice, a veteran physician looking to improve work processes, or a retiring physician needing continuity for patients, PMAG will work with you to find a solution.

Experience the Benefits of Independent Medicine

Patient Relationships
Continuous physician-patient relationships results in greater overall satisfaction for both the physician and the patient.

Autonomy
Avoid the bureaucracies of large corporations and hospital regulations that dictate administrative and patient care decisions.

Collaboration
Engage in collaborative partnerships with other providers and programs to improve quality of patient care.

Compensation
Earning potential is higher in private practice than employed models. You have the opportunity to grow your practice or scale-back when you see fit.

Flexibility
Work-life balance is important. Create your own hours and set the pace of your business.
