Does a corporate buyout mean I should look for a new job?

The prospect of workplace change can be a scary one, especially when that change is a potential sale of the practice. One Firstline reader ask us for help:

"The practice where I work (as a team membernot doctor) is for sale, and there are rumors a corporation might buy it. Should I start looking for a new job now?"

Practice management expert Brian Conrad, CVPM, says not so fast. If you have honest conversations with the current owners and do your research, you might find that this is a change for the better and that the big scary corporation is interested in more than profitthey're interested in you.
