Workshop to Focus on Business Skills
The "Workshop on Business Skills for the Anesthesiologist"
is intended to enhance the personal business skills of the participants
and provide a skill-set not previously offered by ASA. The program
will be held on November 10-11, 2000, at the Westin Francis Marion
Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina.
This workshop will introduce a number of core business skills
that will provide the basic precepts of each learning module.
The initial presentation will be taught by a member of the faculty
who will present the new Certificate in Business Administration
(CBA) program, followed by an anesthesia-related application taught
by a practicing anesthesiologist. Most modules will have a take-home
tool that can be used to enhance the participants own practice.
- Asa C. Lockhart, M.D., M.B.A., is the program chair. He will
speak on "Legal Issues in Health Care" and "Human
Resources and Career Dynamics." The other faculty and their
topics are:
- Amr E. Abouleish, M.D., M.B.A., "Organizational Behavior,"
"Principles of Management" and "Managed Care
– Academic Practice Perspective";
- Dianne B. Love, Ph.D., "Activity-Based Costing"
and "Managed Care";
- Eric Mason, M.D., "Activity-Based Costing" and
"Managed Care – Private Practice Perspective";
- Marcelle Willock, M.D., M.B.A., "Human Resources and
Career Dynamics";
- Ivan Wood, Jr., J.D., "Legal Issues in Health Care"
and "Managed Care";
- Kevin Wooten, Ph.D, "Organizational Behavior,"
"Principles of Management" and "Human Resources
and Career Dynamics."
All of the above topics are the titles of the learning modules,
each of which includes many subtopics.
