Strategic Planning for Practice Executives: Positioning Your Practice for Success

I loved the smaller groups of classes offered. They were more detail-oriented and one-to-one. I attended the Strategic Planning course and I thought it was a great format.

Synopsis: This course is designed to help practice executives and managing physicians understand how practices can turn the challenges of the future into opportunities. In this interactive course, participants will learn about the trends that are shaping the business of ophthalmology and share what they are doing in their practices to prepare for the future.
