Shift the Trajectory of Your Practice at This New ASCRS Business Meeting
The cuts to reimbursement will keep on coming. Diversifying your income stream is important, but many physicians don’t know how, don’t have time, or don’t have the resources.
The ASCRS Business of Refractive Cataract Surgery Summit (BRiCS) will show you how, in a short period of time, and provide ongoing resources and support.
Draw upon the successful track record of surgeons and practices that have already made changes to offer patients choices, shifting the trajectory of their practice for the better.
Learn more about this 18+-hour intensive course and its invaluable resource library, built on 20 years of experience in this arena.
“I believe this meeting [will be helpful] because it’s so intimate, and some of the very key players who have done a beautiful job with their practices are going to share pearls for how to elevate the guest (our patient) experience. … I’m quite certain that not only will it help me and Dr. Richens but the two other team members we’re bringing (our surgical counselors) to significantly level up the guest experience.” —Kelly Clayton, COE, Administrator, Richens Eye Center, St. George, Utah
*Programming onsite at the ASCRS Business of Refractive Cataract Surgery Summit is approved for 6 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.
