National Physician Week: Honoring Our Partner Physicians
Throughout history, healers have always been present. We can trace the medical profession for millennia.
The medical field has advanced over the centuries, and thanks to the great works of dedicated physicians, we now have lifesaving treatments and can manage chronic diseases to improve patients’ quality of life.
In 2016 an advocacy group known as Physicians Working Together (PWT) sought to honor, celebrate, acknowledge, and advance physicians and their contributions to humankind creating National Physician Week.

The Many Roles Specialty Physicians Play in Patient Care
Specialty doctors face complex situations every day. However, because chronic diseases are often unpredictable and patients face many challenges, doctors play different roles.
Medical Expert
Our partner physicians are medical experts in their fields. They daily perform diagnostic and therapeutic activities aimed at improving patient outcomes.
As such, our partner physicians are visionaries and creative professionals able to assess medical situations and make informed decisions as required.
Their knowledge and commitment to patients push them to continue learning and administering new therapies to help them live better.
Communicator
Patient education is a primary role of specialty physicians. Educating patients and communicating potential disease progression helps them prepare for what’s to come.
Education is vital for patients to overcome the inevitable challenges their disease poses. In addition, knowledgeable patients are more likely to take a proactive role in their disease management, which serves to improve treatment outcomes.
Manager, Administrator, and Organizer
Our partner physicians are accustomed to hard work. In addition to caring for patients, they often manage and organize their practice.
At Altus Biologics, we understand that patient care is the primary focus for all our partner physicians, which is why we offer turnkey solutions for in-office biologic infusion suites. We handle every aspect of the infusion suite so doctors can spend more time caring for their patients.
