10 YouTube Channels and Podcasts Worth Following for Medical Practice Management
Medical practice management podcasts and YouTube channels can help owners, administrators, and staff explore questions that arise in daily work. The challenge is finding a resource that fits the question. A coding team may need a different conversation from a physician considering ownership or a manager reviewing patient communication.
The ten resources below cover different parts of the business side of healthcare. Some focus directly on independent practices. Others offer broader finance, leadership, or marketing perspectives that are useful when you select episodes carefully. The numbering organizes the list; it does not rank the resources.
10 Resources for the Business Side of Medical Practice
1. MGMA Insights Podcast
The MGMA Insights Podcast explores the decisions behind medical practice operations, from staffing and patient communication to technology and financial performance. Its interviews give owners and administrators a way to examine how other healthcare leaders approach problems that cross departmental boundaries.
This is a useful starting place when a practice needs a broader management perspective. Choose episodes around a decision you are already considering, such as whether new software will resolve an operational problem or simply add another system to manage.
Suggested starting point: Modernizing the Medical Practice Without Chasing the Next Shiny Tool, with BPM’s Caila Cohen, Josh Schmidt, and Sven Jost. The discussion connects technology purchases with the business problems a practice needs to solve.
2. Physicians Practice
Physicians Practice offers interviews, podcasts, and short videos about the business and working conditions of medical practice. Its coverage includes staffing, payer relationships, patient communication, finances, and technology.
The mix of short clips and longer conversations gives physicians and managers different ways to explore an issue. A brief video can introduce a question worth discussing with the team. Longer interviews provide more context when the practice needs to understand the reasoning behind a recommendation.
Suggested starting point: Why patient wait times are surging. This short video introduces a patient-access issue that owners and administrators can explore further.
3. AAPC
The AAPC Podcast brings together coding professionals for conversations about their work, professional development, and the business side of healthcare. AAPC’s audio and video resources are especially relevant to coding and billing staff and the managers who support them.
Select episodes by their actual subject. Some conversations focus on coding knowledge and accuracy, while others feature members, career paths, or educational opportunities. That distinction helps a manager choose material that fits an employee’s learning needs.
Suggested starting point: Xternship Breakdown and Tips and Tricks, Everything You Need to Know. This Social Hour conversation includes coding mistakes, professional growth, and gaining practical experience.
4. Navigating the Business of Medicine — Integral Clinic Solutions
Navigating the Business of Medicine addresses the operational work behind an independent medical practice. Jennifer Blevens-Smith explains subjects such as credentialing, payer processes, billing workflows, staff responsibilities, and patient communication.
The videos are intended for practice owners, administrators, and employees who need to understand how their work connects. A discussion may follow an issue across several roles, showing why completing one task does not always mean the overall process is finished.
Disclosure: Integral Clinic Solutions produces Navigating the Business of Medicine.
Suggested starting point: Patient Messages: Who Makes Sure They Get an Answer? The video examines message ownership, routing, backup coverage, and follow-through to a patient-facing response.
5. NSCHBC Edge Podcast
The NSCHBC Edge Podcast comes from the National Society of Certified Healthcare Business Consultants. Its conversations address healthcare business issues, including revenue cycle operations, practice management, technology, and compliance-related concerns.
Owners and managers can use the show to consider questions they may need to investigate within their own practice. Its consulting perspective is useful when evaluating whether an established office habit has adequate evidence behind it or needs closer review.
Suggested starting point: Evidence-Based RCM. The episode examines the evidence behind revenue cycle decisions and the limits of relying on office habits or assumptions.
6. Thriving Practice with Tracy Cherpeski
Thriving Practice with Tracy Cherpeski focuses on the business and leadership responsibilities of independent healthcare practice owners. Conversations address delegation, finances, growth, and the demands that ownership places on a clinician’s time.
The show can be useful when a practice is busy but still depends heavily on the owner for routine decisions. Its audience includes medical, dental, therapy, and other healthcare practice owners, so readers should choose episodes that fit their business model.
Suggested starting point: Some People Own a Business. Some People Own a Job. Featuring Mike Milligan, EP 285. The conversation connects ownership responsibilities, systems, and financial planning.
7. HFMA Voices in Healthcare Finance
HFMA’s Voices in Healthcare Finance covers financial issues, payment developments, and business decisions across healthcare. It offers context for practice owners and financial leaders who want to understand issues beyond their own billing reports.
Many discussions involve hospitals or larger health systems. Independent practices should therefore select episodes by relevance, especially those addressing physician payment, rural practice challenges, revenue cycle operations, or the patient financial experience. The show provides a wider industry perspective rather than a small-practice operating manual.
Suggested starting point: The challenges of independent rural healthcare practices. This episode includes a discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing rural healthcare.
8. Healthcare Success
The Healthcare Success Podcast, hosted by Stewart Gandolf, explores healthcare marketing, patient experience, innovation, and growth. It can help owners and administrators think about how patients find, evaluate, and interact with a healthcare organization.
Its stated audience includes executives, health system leaders, and senior marketers. Some examples therefore involve organizations much larger than an independent practice. Select conversations where the underlying question translates to your setting, such as whether patients can find useful information on your website.
Suggested starting point: Live From HMPS 26: When Digital Experience Fails, Patients Walk Away. The discussion considers how website search and information quality affect the patient experience.
9. The Practice Leader Podcast
The Practice Leader Podcast, hosted by Paul Richards and Zed Williamson, speaks directly to medical practice administrators. Its conversations address leadership, physician relationships, staffing, operational performance, and the responsibilities that can leave managers reacting throughout the day.
This is a relevant option for administrators who need to lead across competing priorities. Topics such as delegation and asking for support can help frame a discussion about what the manager should own and where the practice needs a stronger system or clearer division of work.
Suggested starting point: The Key to Not Doing Everything Yourself. The episode explores systems, delegation, and external support with physician and business leader Dr. Afser Shariff.
10. Physicians Hanging a Shingle
Physicians Hanging a Shingle is hosted by physician and practice owner Dr. Brittney Anderson. The podcast focuses on starting a private medical practice, including business planning, financing, staffing, and building a patient base.
It is especially relevant to physicians considering ownership or preparing to open. Established owners may also find useful questions about the assumptions behind their business. Its startup focus distinguishes it from shows aimed primarily at managing an existing organization.
Suggested starting point: #76: 3 Decisions to Make Before Opening Your Private Practice. The episode considers decisions to make before committing to space, staffing, and other expenses.
Beyond Practice Management: More Healthcare Podcasts Worth a Listen
The following podcasts broaden the conversation beyond practice management. They offer perspectives on physician life, patient experiences, and personal finances that may interest practice owners and healthcare teams.
BS Free MD
BS Free MD features Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh in candid conversations about medicine, physician life, and broader healthcare issues. Its value here is the perspective and conversation it offers beyond daily practice administration. Choose episodes by subject, as the show ranges well beyond managing a medical office.
Suggested starting point: 488 — Financial Health for Physicians with Dr. Brent Lacey. The conversation explores financial literacy and the financial decisions physicians face.
The Podcast by KevinMD
The Podcast by KevinMD shares conversations with physicians and others whose experiences intersect with healthcare. Its breadth can help owners and staff consider the human experience behind operational issues, including difficult interactions, professional strain, and patient communication. Episode selection matters because many discussions focus on clinical or personal subjects.
Suggested starting point: Burnout, difficult patients, and the question that changes both. The discussion considers how understanding a patient’s circumstances can change an interaction.
The White Coat Investor Podcast
The White Coat Investor Podcast focuses on personal finance for physicians and other high-income professionals. It belongs in this bonus section because personal financial decisions and practice ownership can intersect, even though managing an owner’s finances is a different task from managing the practice’s operations.
Suggested starting point: Invest vs. Pay Off Debt: What Should You Do with Extra Cash? This listener-question episode examines competing uses for available money, including practice ownership.
Start with a question your practice is already working through and choose an episode that addresses it. After listening, identify what applies to your setting and what needs further checking before you act. One useful conversation can give the team a clearer question to investigate or a practical idea to evaluate.
