The Independence Advantage: Strategies for Thriving in Private Practice
Live Zoom
FREE for OSMA Members & Staff
$99 for NON-members
Independent practice is more than a business model—it’s a competitive advantage. Join us for this free webinar tailored to physicians and practice leaders who want to stay independent and strong. We’ll explore the value of autonomy, plus practical strategies to attract and retain top talent in today’s evolving healthcare market.
- Freedom to Shape Your Workplace
Independent practices empower physicians to choose their colleagues, manage schedules, patient loads, and budgets — giving them a sense of control rarely experienced in large systems. - Culture and Cohesion Drive Performance
A well‑coordinated, friendly office environment leads to efficient operations (e.g., handling up to 60 patients per day), far better patient experiences, and lower burnout. This synergy benefits both staff retention and patient relationships. - Recruitment Through Real‑World Experience
To recruit top talent, independent practices should offer candidates a genuine glimpse of daily life—introducing staff, demonstrating workflow, discussing compensation, and highlighting control over work and life balance—showcasing the benefits they can’t get in larger institutions.
