Fourteen chapters of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) have joined forces to develop a three-part webinar series to recognize that in the midst of chaos, family physicians have a unique opportunity to harness and forge their own financially successful practice management path.
The primary goal of the series is to provide family physicians and their practice teams with high-value education on critical practice management issues during this time of unparalleled crisis in American healthcare. By learning to be nimble and adapting to change, practices are capitalizing on innovation like never before – hear how a few family medicine practices are thriving.
Webinars are provided free of charge, so register today!
If you were unable to join the “Sustaining Telehealth in Family Medicine: Today and Tomorrow” webinar on May 28, it has been archived for future viewing and has been approved for Enduring CME credit.
