Discussion
Medical practices are often structured depending on a variety of factors-finances, availability, location and space, etc. Sowers, Newman, and Langdon (2013) contend that there are a variety of medical practice structures, including, but not limited to: (1) solo practice, (2) group practice, and (3) multispecialty group practice.
Explore the advantages and disadvantages of these types of medical practices and
Assess how, if at all, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) will impact each type of practice.
