In this episode of From Print to Pod, we host a discussion based on the article Trained to Work, Not to Own: Why Identity, Not Math, Keeps Physicians From Thriving.

Physicians often move through training without ever questioning the path in front of them. By the time career decisions arise, employment feels familiar, while ownership can feel distant or undefined. In this discussion, Dr. Tod Stillson, Dr. Maria Sokolina, and Dr. Zara Chopuryan explore how early exposure shapes that mindset and why many physicians never fully see the range of options available to them. Here’s what to understand about how training influences career identity and what it means for those considering private practice.
