Designed for individuals who are interested in learning how to start group medical visits in their practices. It is best suited for those who have either no experience or limited experience with group medical visits.
Over the course of four weeks, you will be provided an introduction to group medical visits to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare, implement, and facilitate successful group medical visits in order to maximize patient care.
This series was designed to fit into your current schedule and provide you the opportunity to learn all you need to know to start an effective and engaging program in your community by breaking the curriculum into four, manageable 2.5 hour evening sessions. Additionally, we will be teaching virtual group visit techniques and pointers so that we can all navigate COVID while using group models!
