Pre-Conference Workshop: Creating Empowered and Successful Physician and Administrator Teams
Although physicians and administrators of orthopedic practices have been educated in two different tracks and often do not interact during their education, they must, in order to be successful in this complex heathcare environment, become strong trusting partners, and fully coordinated in driving the group's mission, vision, and values. The presenters will highlight the differences between physicians and administrators, identify more importantly what they share in common, and articulate the implementable methods used to bring them together in a successful leadership partnership.
