Our Services

As Specialist Emergency Physicians we have accumulated ample years of experience. Most of our training took place in the Emergency Centre. Having been exposed to different managers and a variety of units at various hospitals has made us aware of the different styles of management. We have combined these different approaches to create what we feel is the best way to manage an Emergency Centre. MD Inc. is perfectly suited to managing all aspects of Emergency Centres, from Clinical Governance, optimization of relationships with in-hospital specialists, patient satisfaction and staff training, to administrative tasks such as auditing, rostering, and billing.
