Most founders think the Medical Director conversation is about:
“How cheap can I get this done?”
That’s the wrong question.
The real questions are:
• What authority do they actually have?
• How involved do they need to be?
• What does good oversight look like?
• How does this scale past one location?
A Medical Director relationship should:
✔ Protect the practice
✔ Support growth
✔ Reduce risk through clarity
If the expectations aren’t defined early, problems show up later — usually at the worst possible time.
