Abstract

Competition is rapidly increasing across all specialties in the field of medicine due to increase in the number of doctors as well as developing technological and marketing changes. It is mandatory to develop and sustain the advantage of surgical skill in particular specialty for the long-term to take advantage of the experience and skills. Fierce competition in turn decreases the overall practice if we do not sustain the competitive advantage which we have in the beginning. It is imperative that we develop sustained competitive advantage to sustain and grow our professional journey for the long-term. In this article we have focussed on how to develop a sustained competitive advantage in the field of spine surgery which can be also applied to other surgical or medical specialties like the other business industries.
Keywords: Medical Profession, Fierce competition, Sustained competitive advantage, Grow professional competence.
