Faculty practice plans are the clinical enterprises of medical schools and academic medical centres. They operate under unique pressures: they must generate clinical revenue while funding teaching and research, satisfy university and hospital governance at once, and manage physicians who are also professors. This track explains their structure, funds flow, compensation, operations and the reform questions facing them. Each lesson includes a worked example and an action step.
About this courseThis is a self-paced educational course. Completing it does not award a professional certification, license, degree or academic credit, and it does not count toward any licensing or continuing-education requirement. It is not clinical training, it does not provide CE, CME or contact hours, and it is not medical advice. Exam-prep courses are independent study material: we are not affiliated with any certifying body, no exam voucher is included, and a credential is only awarded by the certifying body after you pass its exam. Always work within your scope of practice and your employer's policies. It makes no promise of employment, pay or exam results.
