The School of Hard Knocks: Practice Management Lessons You Won’t Learn in Textbooks Friday, October 10 Fri, Oct 10 8:00-9:30 a.m. CDT
Behind every successful private plastic surgery practice are hard-earned lessons shaped by challenges, missteps, and unexpected obstacles. This interactive session invites experienced surgeons to share real-world accounts of operational, legal, financial, or staffing crises encountered in practice—and how they overcame them. Through candid discussion and reflective analysis, participants will gain insights into risk mitigation, leadership under pressure, and practical strategies for avoiding common and costly pitfalls in solo or group practice settings.
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:
- Analyze case-based examples of challenges encountered in private plastic surgery practice management.
- Identify common operational and strategic pitfalls that can impact clinical, financial, or reputational outcomes.
- Apply lessons learned from peer experiences to enhance risk management, decision-making, and practice resilience.
