Getting Down to Business: Building Business Literacy
Physical therapy practice is a business, operating within a dynamic, ever-changing health care industry. Emerging evidence supports the need for business literacy within clinical practice. Specifically, all health care practitioners should have a fundamental knowledge and understanding of the financial, marketing, human resource, and operational functions of an organization or practice. Despite it's importance, a clear gap exists between the need for business literacy and the level of knowledge of most healthcare teams.
The purpose of this educational program is to provide professionals with an essential set of business skills that are transferable to diverse roles in all practice settings. The program will center on teaching key business metrics crucial for cultivating excellence in clinical practice and will identify how various business strategies contribute to building a vibrant 'bottom-line'. Practical skill development will be emphasized and participants will be invited to engage interactively throughout the entire program.

Developing an effective leadership style is important, even if you are not a formal leader! Growing personal leadership skills will help you become more effective every day in practice and will prepare you for your next career move or professional responsibility. Leadership "styles" vary from person to person, and some leadership styles are more effective than others. What kind of leader are you? Do you know your preferred leadership style? In this program, you will discover how you tend to lead and will be provided with some ideas on how to build your own leadership capacity. Emphasis is placed on developing an effective personal leadership style as well as understanding how you can lead as a member of a group. Additionally, you'll be exposed to new ways of thinking, and new approaches to innovation and change that you can apply to many professional situations in physical therapy practice. Participants will be encouraged to engage interactively throughout the program.
