The session will cover important updates on how ongoing changes affect day-to-day experiences for medical directors. Specifically, this session will address how to fulfill community needs while strengthening relationships, how to avoid staff burnout, the skills and competencies needed to be an effective Medical Director, compliance and regulatory issues, quality and different payer and referral sources.
