Many of you are making the transition from clinician to CEO, so you're constantly asking, "What does the CEO of a group practice actually do?" It's a great question in terms of time allocation and making an impact on your business. We created a session around this very topic for our Ascendant Executive program and asked our friend, Mick Janness (CEO of Oakpoint), to share his personal journey along with his guidance on how to become a more effective executive.

If you're looking to "level up" your business acumen to become a better leader of your own emerging group, then join us for Q4 of the program as we tackle the theme of "Business Development & Growth." Registration is open: https://polarishealthcarepartners.com/ascendant-executive/
