If you want to use your education and your professional certification, you need to be prepared to compete out there in the market and start treating yourself as a business. Whether you are a dentist, a doctor, or a dermatologist, setting up a clinic could be one of the best decisions you can ever make. According to Dr. Kami Hoss, a change in mindset, from being a licensed practitioner, to thinking in terms of operating as a business, is your first critical step.

Just because you are a full-fledged professional, it doesn’t follow you will naturally attract your customers. You need to create a brand to have something to be associated with, and you also need to invest in marketing. You can actually do this for free by creating a social media page for your clinic. Here you will realize that Facebook is a powerful business tool. You can begin by asking your close friends and relatives to like your page and then progressively build your clinic’s base of followers from there.

It also helps you establish a good supply chain because your clinic will live and die by the strength of your relationships with other suppliers. You will always need stocks to boost your operations because no matter how good the equipment you choose to use in your clinic, you will need maintenance products and services. Stock up on medicines, as well as the common consumables that your clinic needs.
