Medical Travel & Tourism

This is a tremendous challenge to the current state of affairs in US healthcare. The opportunities presented by international healthcare will create tremendous change in our concept of how medical care can be provided. I leave for Asia to meet and tour several prominent individuals and facilities that host medical travel.

As a practicing US physician, the chance to view this coin from another angle has profound questions. It has radically changed my perspective on what we consider to be 'the best care'. It is impossible to argue that we in the US have a monopoly on the best in healthcare. Once that proposition is overcome, the discussion becomes very interesting.

Going forward, many large and smaller entities will swarm to this niche. Fortunately, our company will be at the head of the pack and ready to adapt, innovate and prosper.

More as I learn from abroad. As always posts and questions are welcome.
