Show Sponsor The 5 Systems Every Practice Needs

In graduate school, most of us were trained to be amazing clinicians but not business owners. In this era of technological advancement, running a successful private practice demands more than just clinical expertise. The average private practice owner spends hours researching and experimenting with the best systems for their practice such as which EHR to use or email platform. We have much to consider when selecting tools for our business, beyond just efficiency.

The great news is we have done the work to find the best systems for you, saving you time and money. David Sturgess and Whitney Owens will be hosting a webinar on The 5 Systems Every Practice Owner needs. We will break down the components of each one addressing efficiency, ease of use, cost, confidentiality, and more. Make sure to join us on Thursday, December 5th at 1:00EST.
