DRAFT - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION
The 2023 Multi-State ASC Conference
In this post-COVID world, Ambulatory Surgery Center leaders and managers simply don't have the time to send staff members to two or more conferences a year. However, the need for on-going education is even bigger today. The ASC Podcast with John Goehle in conjunction with several state associations decided to come together to present a virtual conference to help fill the void. Over a two day period we will present a variety of topics for both the leaders in the ASC as well as staff members that deal with the subject areas.
While the sessions will be presented live (virtually), recordings of each session will be available after the conference for a period of six months.
The ASC Podcast with John Goehle Virtual Conference are NOT your typical "webinar" - they are a true conference, with the on-going interaction among the presenters and the ability to ask questions in real time. Our virtual conferences are not just educational, they are entertaining!
