It is especially relevant for:

  • Recent BHMS graduates planning to open their first clinic
  • Senior practitioners who want to modernize or scale their setup
  • Medical teachers who want to guide students in practical life skills
  • Healthcare entrepreneurs looking to blend passion with purpose

Don’t just practice. Build a practice that thrives. Create a legacy beyond the stethoscope.
