Webinar: Presenting Riveting Financial Information to Physicians (04/14/2026)

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 17:00:00 GMT

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

This presentation focuses on transforming financial data into meaningful insight for physicians by shifting the conversation from raw numbers to informed decision‑making. It outlines best practices for presenting financial information in a way that builds trust, clarifies performance, and drives action—without overwhelming or alienating the audience. By clearly explaining why financial reporting matters, the presentation demonstrates how well‑structured analysis can validate management performance, set realistic expectations, identify risk, and uncover missed opportunities within a medical practice.

Beyond the numbers, the presentation stresses the importance of audience awareness and communication strategy. It addresses who should be involved in financial discussions, how to present sensitive information without surprise or conflict, and how to keep physicians engaged by focusing on their priorities and concerns.

Webinar: Are You Okay? Addressing Employee Mental Health (06/09/2026)

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 17:00:00 GMT

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

We have learned from world-class athletes at the top of their games, like Naomi Osaka, Michael Phelps, and Simone Biles, how they must prioritize their mental, as well as physical health. Working in healthcare is a stressful environment on a good day. A leadership style that includes “put on your game face” and “tough it out” will struggle to meet the needs of their patients and the practice while also addressing the mental health needs of their employees. In this session, we focus on concrete strategies practice leaders can implement to make an immediate impact.

Objectives:

- Describe the factors bringing employee mental health to the forefront of HR discussions

- Identify strategies for improving individual mental health

- Develop practice-wide improvements for improving employee mental health
