Developed in conjunction with BSM Consulting for those aspiring or current managers in an ophthalmic practice wishing to move into practice management and/or increase their practice management skills and knowledge, the educational program is comprised of nine interactive modules including pre-work, prerecorded instructional videos, live interactive sessions, and homework with a new management skill topic unveiled each month. Each module builds upon the previous module to deliver a comprehensive and detailed training curriculum for the mid-level manager.
Developed and sponsored by the Administrator Beginners Circle (ABC) Task Force, this initiative is to assist new administrators (who have 4 or less years in ophthalmology practice management) in their practice management journey.
