PHYSICIAN CEO 2023
Find Out More…
Register Now! Program Begins January 2023
The time to register for the PHYSICIAN CEO 2023 Program is NOW! We receive hundreds of inquiries about the PHYSICIAN CEO Program every year, and complete discussions have been quite personal, and reveal the anxiety that many physicians face about managing the “business side” of their practice. Here are some common themes:
- • How important it is to be able to really understand their practice finances and interpret financial reports;
- • Most admit that they want to gain more confidence (and develop an edge!) when negotiating contracts with equipment dealers, pharmaceutical companies, outside experts such as advertising companies and telemarketers;
- • All want to better manage practice growth and gain insights to do a better job hiring (and firing!) office personnel;
- • Many express a need to understand their “Marketing” better. There is a clear gap in knowledge about what is “Advertising” and what is “Marketing”. Most physicians recognize the importance of knowing how to design and implement effective marketing programs, but do not have the requisite background to do so;
- • Nearly everyone mentions that they need better skills to develop their practice growth strategy, and many say they want to be more “In Control” of their practice and their career.
While many physicians recognize the need to develop better executive business skills, most are challenged to make time to study business. A common comment is “How do I fit it into my already busy schedule?” The answer is by attending the PHYSICIAN CEO program. This program is offered exclusively to physicians and designed to accommodate a busy physician’s schedule and the accelerated format is appropriate to a physician’s advanced learning abilities.
The PHYSICIAN CEO program is packed with high-quality, MBA-level content. The program addresses each of the topics above and is delivered by top faculty at one of the world’s top business schools. The main focus is on growing your practice! We firmly believe that Physicians must be the CEO of their practice! PHYSICIAN CEOs must know how to oversee their practice managers, consultants, accountants, and staff to position their practice for growth. The PHYSICIAN CEO program combines business acumen with medical expertise to capitalize on Physicians leading their practices within the framework of a Physician’s values.

About the RSA Refractive Technicians
We begin a new training outreach for Refractive Technicians.
As we all know this role requires a high level of expertise and experience to master. Every step of the diagnostic exam is critical. The more complete our technicians’ knowledge is, the better able they are to perform accurate diagnostic exams and refractions, make the patient feel at ease, and catch mistakes before they happen.
With the mission of supporting, and training the very best refractive technicians, we have curated a lecture series to be given by technicians, for technicians.
- December 7, 2022 Topic: “TBA”
- Date: Wednesday, December 7, 2022
- Time: 5:00 PM GMT / 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT
- Duration: 60 Minute Format
Please arrange your schedule so that you can attend this “LIVE Training Session” This is a great opportunity to invest in their education.
Our All-Star Technician Training Committee Includes:

- Cory Pickett, BSN, RN, CRNO, COA – Panhandle Eye Group, Texas, USA
- Lindsay Kuykendall, COA – Aligned Management Services, North Carolina, USA
The lecture is FREE for the technicians and staff of an RSA Member. After gauging your feedback from this pilot program, we hope to turn this into a course as well as a certification program for Refractive Technicians.

ABOUT RSA JOURNAL CLUB
These webinars are open to all ophthalmic colleagues – residents, fellows, and surgeons – both RSA members and colleagues. Please feel free to invite your colleagues to join us as your guest. We believe this series provides awareness about cornerstone concepts in refractive surgery. The peer-review literature is replete with content—some relevant, some not so relevant. The purpose of the RSA Journal Club is to highlight “landmark” articles that should be front of mind for every RSA surgeon and to provide a forum to discuss them in detail.
What makes this series so special is that the articles are not only discussed, they are often times presented by the authors themselves, providing a unique insight into the papers.
This series is made possible by the fact that we have so many important innovators in the Refractive Surgery Alliance. Please plan to participate in this important event, and invite your colleagues to join us. We look forward to seeing you there!
