“Should running this practice should be so difficult?” No, it shouldn't be. But if it were easy, everyone would do it. We can make it easier, however.
This summer, Dr. Katrina Skinner, one of the few people who can talk business, clinical care, and culture without making you roll your eyes, will host a crash course for pediatric leaders who want to stop reacting and start leading. It’s called Pediatric CEO Summer School. Yes, I’m involved too (sidekick, color commentary, court jester—my strengths).
What is it?
- It’s a series of six live, high-impact sessions built specifically for pediatric practice owners and leaders. Each one is practical, short, and sharp—no boring PowerPoint marathons. It includes a stack of worksheets and templates specifically designed for you, the independent pediatrician.
- It's access to our private Pediatric CEO online group where you can swap ideas, get real-time feedback, and finally find your people.
- Ongoing access to the class recordings you you can re-watch any time!
Who is it for?
Anyone running a pediatric practice who feels like they’re stuck in Groundhog Day: the same staffing problems, the same profitability worries, the same culture issues, the same nagging feeling that there has to be a better way to do this.
What is the curriculum?
- Comp Plans that Actually Work
Learn how to design compensation models that motivate your team and reward you for running the business.
- Practice Makeover #1
Watch a real pediatric practice get expert coaching on the issues you're facing too—staffing, finances, operations, and more. One insight could save you thousands.
- Quarterly Goals Without the Guesswork
Learn how to set clear, focused goals that drive measurable growth. Whether it's increasing collections, improving scheduling efficiency, or expanding services, these aren’t vanity goals—they’re bottom-line boosters.
- Delegation That Doesn’t Backfire
Learn how to delegate without drama—so you can spend less time putting out fires and more time leading, earning, and scaling your impact. The right handoffs can free up hours a week (and thousands in lost opportunity).
- Make Your Message Match Your Mission/span>
Attract the right families and hire the right people—before they ever walk through your door. When your messaging reflects your mission, you’ll save thousands by avoiding mismatched hires and marketing misfires.
- Practice Makeover #2
See another real practice tackle real problems—and walk away with even more strategies you can use immediately. It’s your chance to double down on what works and earn back your investment at least 10x.
