Short of riding the mechanical bulls on Bourbon Street, I think we fulfilled our social requirements at the AAP NCE this week. I starting making a list of people I got to greet, but gave up after 50. And it always remains a treat to meet people I'v...
In years past, I have gone through the entire NCE schedule and highlighted the talks or meetings I had hoped to crash. This year, Jose Lopez (the manager of the SOAPM section), put this awesome handout together.
Over the last few years, pediatricians have gained a lot of ground in the RVU arena - I have documented many of the changes, as you know. Although it sometimes feels like two steps forward and one step back, the overall RVUs/Visit for PCC client hav...
Attendees of the AAP NCE are surely familiar with the Office of the Future exhibit that has grown in size and scope over the past few years. I don't know if it began that way, but since at least 2010, the project has been the baby of Dr. Gregg Alexa...

They turned our conversation into back-to-back episodes (32 and 33), "Independent Pediatric Practice 2022" and "Data Data Data and Managing a Pediatric Office." If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
