BFD Education was established to provide Doctors and their support team with accurate and trustworthy education and resources. We have and will continue to provide MBS education and resources through face to face and online workshops and encourage ethical billing practices. BFD Education utilises industry experts in their field to provide business education and resources to enable doctors, practice owners and practice managers to increase their knowledge and build better businesses.
Our Mission
BFD Education aims to inspire and educate medical practitioners, at all career stages, to become literate in business and finance with access to accurate, objective information and high-quality professional advice. We are committed to providing accurate, legal and ethical education.
Our Values
We commit to:

BFD Education Membership
We understand the difficulties in sourcing quality and relevant business and MBS education and therefore have created an education hub for our BFD Education Members. This hub will enable members to access not only BFD Education materials but also resources from our trusted BFD Partners.
