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 presented 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 were presented live (virtually), recordings of each session are now available for a rental period of six months.
The ASC Podcast with John Goehle Virtual Conferences 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!
The live virtual conference was free for members of the following state associations, unfortunately if you did not attend the live conference, you will have to pay for the recordings - so keep an eye out for future conferences so you don't don't miss out in the future:
- Massachusetts Association of of ASCs
- New York State Association of ASCs
- Pennsylvania Ambulatory Surgery Association
- Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Society
- Virginia Ambulatory Surgery Association
