Back in 2018, I shared the effort of Dr. Brian Bowman to create some amazing posters to explain the value of well visits to your families. They are designed to by displayed in your office so that as mom sits there, she has something educational to lo...
Of the innumerable comments I've received after a conference or webinar, this may be my favorite of all time: "Tell your parents you have more people watching you than NCAA bball!" The only way that statement can be true during the month of March is ...
I know that quite a few of my readers will be at the PMI event in Miami shortly. I'll be there with a sizable PCC crew, so if you'd like to spend a few minutes of focused chatting let me know and I will gladly carve out some time. Experience tells me...

If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
