Abstract
Healthcare in the United States is in a time of great transition. Consolidation and corporatization are increasingly normalized. Physician autonomy and self-determination has been deprioritized, contributing to burnout and workforce shortages. One of the most striking and controversial evolutions has been the entry of private equity investment into medicine. In this review article, we will explain the construct of private equity, its rationale for investing in medical practices including urology, and the potential benefits and risks of physician partnership.
