Consult Dr Surya Teja Online Dermatology

Profile Description

The advantages of group medical service, with facilities and technical personnel beyond the means of an individual practitioner plus the benefit of group consultation, have encouraged the establishment of pay or private clinics. Such a clinic is essentially a voluntary association of physicians engaged in the practice of medicine on an organized group basis. Common administration and facilities are used, and the resulting expense and income are shared according to a predetermined plan. To be classified as a group clinic the relationship between each physician and the organization must be defined in a legal agreement. The relationship usually takes the form of a partnership. Several of these, such as the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota, have achieved a national reputation and attract patients from a wide area. Most of these organized group clinics are general clinics; i.e., they have several of the different medical specialties represented on their staffs. A number of private clinics, however, limit their work to one medical specialty. An enterprise of special interest is the London Clinic, established in 1932 by a group of prominent consultant surgeons and physicians who wished to make available to their private patients a place where the comforts and privacy of a nursing home could be combined with facilities for diagnosis and therapy such as exist only in the larger general hospitals.
