The Facts on Growing Your Practice —
Separating from the Pack

In this opening general session entitled "The Facts on Growing Your Practice-Separating from the Pack" the speaker will encourage the attendees to view the recent CMS "separation (of consulting and dispensing services) rule" as an opportunity to improve patient care, work effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team, and engage in ethics based entrepreneurialism. Basic business and patient centered care tenets will be reviewed and the vast opportunities that are ahead for consultant pharmacists will be discussed.
