Why Private Equity Is Furious Over a Paper in a Dermatology Journal
The sudden, unexplained removal of a research paper on private equity firms buying dermatology practices has raised questions about corporate influence.
Hasnain says:
“Early this month, a respected medical journal published a research paper on its website that analyzed the effects of a business trend roiling the field of dermatology: the rapid entrance of private equity firms into the specialty by buying and running practices around the country.
Eight days later, after an outcry from private equity executives and dermatologists associated with private equity firms, the editor of the publication removed the paper from the site. No reason was given.”
