SPEAKING & LECTURES

Join us in learning how to maximize your career potential

We have a diverse group of expert speakers across many different areas. They are able to educate by sharing their experiences, not just by quoting published data. Our speakers include expert contract attorneys, former hospital executives, MBAs, and even a practicing Physician.

For the physicians out there, you may hear about someone in a very similar situation and how they were able to better negotiate their employment agreement or dramatically improve their financial outlook. This may inspire you to take action as well. As every physician knows, nothing replaces the knowledge gained from different perspectives. We want to share with you how a little focus on your own compensation and benefits may turn mirrors into windows.

For Residency and Fellowship programs, we are able to educate your trainees in a way that is not currently being done. We offer an efficient, customizable, educational (non-promotional) talk to focus on what your residents and fellows need to know coming out and signing their first agreement. We have many tools and valuable resources to offer before, during, and after our presentation.

If you are running an association, working with a group of physicians in an IPA or ACO or any state agency, we are able to work with your associates as well to customize a program and talk around the needs you have.
