OVERVIEW

2-day In-person Seminar: The Next Level of Private Practice - Risk, Referrals, Retention & Resilience is organized by GlobalCompliancePanel and will be held from Oct 25 - 26, 2018 at Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Sea-Tac Area, Seattle, Washington, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 12 Credits.

Course Description:
The Next Level of Private Practice journeys into practice development expert Howard Baumgarten's trademark "four R's." These R's include Risk, Referrals, Retention, and Resilience. Each of these four areas possesses specific meaning to the practice owner; meaning that is both general as well as highly specialized and unique to each healthcare practice.

As this 2-day training commences, the four R's are introduced and explained in general terms, along with a discussion of how this highly successful business development process came into existence.

Participants will explore or re-examine their inner personal experience(s) that led to their professional passions, while recording a personal passion narrative with pinpoint populations, techniques, theories and issues that are at the core of their professional personae. This is a crucial exercise whether just starting out or a seasoned clinician, as it helps with the centering process and either creates, fortifies, or rebuilds practice foundations.

• The Four R's: Risk, Referral, Retention, Resilience
