As physicians we strive to provide excellent care for our patients. However, often you are not given the tools or knowledge to navigate physician reimbursement, coding, contract negotiations or practice optimization. Business continues to play an increasingly important role in modern medicine, and we must increase our knowledge in this area to ensure our success, the success of our practice and the ultimate care of our patients.

This course will provide insights to those just entering practice, but also our seasoned colleagues by helping everyone understand how physicians are paid in medicine today so we can all realize the joy of practicing urogynecology something for which we have trained very hard to do.
