Books about running a medical or dental practice as a business: growing it, marketing it, buying one and leading the people in it. Most were written by physicians, dentists and the consultants who work with practices.
This list holds 14 books published between 2017 and 2026, 2 with an audiobook edition. A book is on it only when running a medical or dental practice is a central subject of the book, judged from the book's own description, not when it comes up in passing. The most-rated on Amazon come first.
