LECTURES ON THE MOVE - Introducing Brand New Topics by Judy Capko

What Makes a Practice Great? Physicians and administrators have tremendous responsibilities and work hard to achieve top performance.  Yet, some of them just seem to rise above the bar and achieve greatness. This course looks at what it takes to make a practice truly exceptional.

The Good Warrior – How to survive the battle in healthcare management: This course will give attendees an opportunity to take an inside look at the battlefield of practice management – the stressors, the problems and demands. Attendees will feel renewed and better equipped to handle the battles of managing a practice and dealing with difficult problems.

Changing for the Greater Good: The business of medicine is transforming and as it evolves medical practice leaders face many changes.  Accepting change and managing it well is not an easy process and failure is costly. This program provides practical ways to integrate change and improve organizational and financial performance.
