Staff Training, Business Procedures & Marketing

Most conferences do a good job of teaching tactics but not in delivering a plan to implement those tactics. Without good business decisions physicians won’t have a practice to do those procedures. Track 3 Staff Training, Business Procedures & Marketing focuses on the essential pillars of running the front-end of a practice. It includes what new practices and established practices need to know and do to have good cash flow, happy staff and patients, and a full patient schedule. During breakfast Saturday morning in the exhibit hall all staff and the decision maker (physician most times) will gather together to outline a strategic business and marketing plan. If they do this exercise, they will return home with a plan in hand.

Topics and speakers subject to change.
