Sessions for Physicians
These sessions are recommended for clinicians who are in a practice leadership role or moving into one, but there is no restriction on attendance. Note that all sessions are open to all attendees.
Each session is identified by content level: Nuts and Bolts, Strategic, and On the Horizon.
- Nuts and Bolts sessions cover the basics of what you need to know to manage the day-to-day operations of your practice.
- Strategic sessions take a higher level view for practice executives planning growth and positioning.
- On the Horizon sessions give you the information you need to prepare for new industry initiatives.
