When you own a private practice, you're not just the physician. You're also the manager, problem-solver, employer, and sometimes the janitor.
In Episode 7 of The Business of Surgery, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Lauren Umstattd tackles one of the hardest transitions for physician entrepreneurs: learning when to delegate.
Lauren shares how she went from personally managing nearly every aspect of her practice to gradually handing off responsibilities to a team, and why doing everything yourself can eventually become a barrier to growth.
In this episode:
- What physicians underestimate about running a business
- How to decide what to delegate
- Why repeatable tasks should come off your plate first
- What Lauren still refuses to outsource
- Delegating without losing oversight
- Empowering employees to make decisions
- How to audit roles as your practice grows
- Why one-on-one employee conversations can transform a business
- Protecting your time for clinical work, creativity, and growth
- Why you can outsource tasks—but not understanding your own practice
The Business of Surgery is a 12-part FEM, MD series following the real mechanics of building and running a physician-owned surgical practice.
