ABOUT THE DVD CME PACK
Educational Symposia is constantly exploring ways to better serve our customers. Subscribers of our DVD CME teaching programs asked for a simpler way to share a DVD Teaching Program. We listened and are excited to introduce the DVD CME Pack.
Here's how it works. Purchase the original DVD teaching program then order as many DVD CME Packs as needed at a significantly reduced price. It really is that simple!
Educational Symposia's innovative DVD CME Packs allow each participating physician to own his/her set of DVDs. Having their own set provides the opportunity to view at their convenience and add to their personal reference library. DVD CME Packs are priced to make it a practical alternative to "waiting in line" to receive the next DVD.
Each DVD CME Pack contains:
-
An entire set of DVDs in a convenient case designed for durability and ease of access
-
One CME application and test
-
A one or two volume syllabus (depending on the series). Syllabus is included in the purchase price but is not enclosed in the DVD CME case.
See order form to order a DVD CME Pack for this series. To order a DVD CME Pack for a previously purchased DVD teaching program, visit us online at www.edusymp.com, call toll free (800) 338-5901.
Multiple CME Subscribers......
Educational Symposia DVD Teaching Programs are accredited for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM for three years from the original release date. Once the initial order is placed, the number of CME applications and/or DVD CME Packs that can be ordered is limitless. Simply call (800) 338-5901 or access our website at www.edusymp.com and reference the name of the person or facility of the originating order. See order form for pricing.
ABOUT THIS DVD TEACHING PROGRAM
This DVD teaching program was developed from lectures which were presented at the 2009 Leadership Strategies for Radiology: Taking Your Practice to the Next Level symposium, the first course in the ACR's Executive Leadership Series.
This DVD CME activity is a comprehensive series of lectures focused on developing and honing subscribers' leadership skills and optimizing the structure and function of their practices. Faculty focus on issues that group leaders and their business executives face on a daily basis and provide practical solutions and suggested actions that they can incorporate into their practices with minimal effort.
The faculty, chosen for their teaching ability as well as their expertise, discuss such pertinent issues as strategic planning, productivity concerns, reimbursement management strategies, service and quality methodologies, the start-up and success of new ventures, merger considerations, throughput optimization, marketing, contracting, negotiations, recruiting, leadership development, and other practice-related topics. With new knowledge on these topics, subscribers will be able to immediately implement solutions to strengthen their practice and improve their leadership.
The comprehensive course syllabus should provide substantial information that subscribers can use as a resource for improving the structure and the operations of their practices. The program is practical; the faculty is comprised of nationally recognized teachers who have implemented these skills in their own practices and in many others across the country.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This DVD CME activity is intended for radiologists with leadership positions in their practices and for those who seek the skills to become practice leaders. The information is valuable for those in private practice, group practice, and academics, and for senior radiology business executives, particularly those involved with the operations, management, growth, marketing, and infrastructure development of their practices.
