For many, private practice is new or something we do on the side to supplement our full-time work. As our economy and society evolve, there are players in the healthcare field who are not trained as human service providers. These changes and this diversity of interested parties brings legal, financial and ethical concerns that are most competitively played out in the communities of color. We can see how our medical partners are already seriously affected and over the next two years, it will be essential for private practitioners to understand all of the factors at work in shaping the upcoming health services landscape.
