ASOA Group Mentorship Program

ASOA Group Mentorship Program

ASOA and the Administrator Beginners Circle (ABC) are excited to announce a Group Mentorship Program in which newer administrators can participate in virtual group mentorship sessions with a seasoned administrator acting as the group moderator and mentor.

Developed and sponsored by the Administrator Beginners Circle (ABC) Taskforce, the group mentor sessions will be held as virtual monthly roundtables, facilitated over Zoom. Each roundtable will have a mentor moderator with up to 10 mentees, guaranteeing meaningful discussion and thoughtful dialogue centered around topics relevant to today’s administrator and practice.

Group Mentorship Monthly Topics

2024 Roundtables will include the following:

• Creative Solutions to the OD/MD Shortage & How to Plan For New Providers. 
• Administrator Hot Topics: Q&A for New Administrators & Managers.
• Resiliency As a Leader: How to Find Motivation While Putting Out Fires.
• Finding Clinic Efficiencies Through Time Studies.

• Top 10 KPI Benchmarks for Administrators.
• Moving Beyond the Typical Staff Survey: Crafting a Survey and Follow-up That Makes Employees Feel Heard.
