This is one of the most common mistakes we see physicians make! ⚠️ It’s easy to think that your accountant's or tax preparer’s job is just to fill out your 1040 and get the numbers right on your return. But here’s the catch: without a conscious strategic approach to the year before, those numbers might not end up where you need them most. True #TaxPlanning is about looking ahead to optimize each decision for a stronger financial position when tax time rolls around. Think investing in specific properties to lower your tax burden, taking advantage of deductions like depreciation to offset income, or choosing retirement accounts that maximize your savings and benefits...

The journey from lab discovery to patient access takes nearly a decade—and that's a timeline we can’t afford to ignore any longer. The faster we can translate scientific breakthroughs into real-world treatments, the sooner we can make a difference. Now with #AI, we have the power to compress each phase of drug development, from discovery to deployment → reducing years into actionable insights and approvals. With these innovations, we can transform patient care and help treatments reach those in need faster than ever.

The overlooked side of being a doctor - running a business. It's a whole different game from what you trained for. Suddenly, you're juggling business tasks like dealing with insurance, hiring, and managing employees—all without any real knowledge in those areas. It’s easy to rely on others who’ve been around the industry, but they may not always have the right business know-how. Treat your practice like the business it is, and don’t hesitate to bring in the right support to keep it thriving. You don’t have to do it all yourself!

Diabetes is on the rise, and it's not just a patient's blood sugar you need to keep an eye on. One in three people are pre-diabetic, and the rates of full diabetes are climbing too. It’s no surprise given our increasingly sedentary lifestyles, where even kids are missing out on physical activity. Screening for ocular signs of systemic diseases like diabetes should be a routine part of patient care. Learn more and meet EyeCheq Co-Founder Dr. Rashid Taher in Ep. 49!

Changes in vision can be one of the earliest indicators of diabetes. Subtle shifts, like becoming more nearsighted, may signal rising blood sugar levels and fluid buildup right in the eye's lens. Regular eye exams that assess visual acuity and refraction shifts can catch these signs early—before other symptoms emerge. With tools like EyeCheq, your patients can now quickly assess their eye health conveniently, giving an extra layer of insight to help catch diabetes early and manage it effectively. Small checks can lead to big differences in care. ✅ Learn more in Ep. 49 with Ophthalmologist and EyeCheq co-founder Dr. Rashid Taher! ▶️ https://lnkd.in/enrvcgc6 #VisionHealth #DiabetesAwareness #PreventiveCare #EyeHealth #PhysicianLife
