RESUMEN
Nearly 2500 years ago, Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War, a book that provided emperors and military leaders with methods to achieve success on the battlefield. Those same strategies and tactics will also work on the battlefield of the healthcare war that is going to take place in the very near future. Perhaps we can go back in time and learn the valuable lessons that were used so successfully and apply them to modern healthcare to help us through the quagmire of the healthcare crisis. This article was inspired by the book Sun Tzu and the Art of Business, by Mark McNeilly (Oxford University Press, 2011).

Doctors' incomes are decreasing. There is a decrease in reimbursements and an increase in overhead costs. Increasing numbers of doctors are becoming hospital employees. As a result, doctors are looking for alternative sources of income. One area that is currently available for most physicians is to become expert witnesses on behalf of plaintiffs or defendants in lawsuits. This article will review what is involved in serving as an expert witness and how to market yourself to attorneys who are in need of expert witnesses.
