Can a non-MD run a medical office?
Mikster13 asked:
I’m wondering if it is legal to run a medical office / clinic without actually being an MD? As an example, say I open an office, supply all the medical equipment and hire several MD’s to work in this office. I am not a doctor…so can I still do this? I am in Los Angeles County. thanks.

A private practice can be owned by anyone.
However the rule in most places in the world is that only one who is qualified to do so can practice medicine.
If your role in the business is only the business side of it then yes it would be legal.
However, wether you would be able to attract doctors that would work for you instead of for themselves is another matter. Good luck with that.
