The U of Western Postgraduate Medical Education Office and Specialty Program Directors have enlisted the educational assistance of Practice Solutions, a subsidiary of the Canadian Medical Association, to provide senior specialty residents and their significant others with a full day of interactive seminars.

Introduction to these practice management issues is important to your future success as a physician. The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada includes practice management as core competencies in its CanMEDS framework.

This session will address the key challenges residents will face in setting up their practice, such as:

• Contract Negotiation: Institutional, academic or private practice, locums, OR time, remuneration options, research issues (time, resources)
• Financial Wellness: Addressing debt, loan consolidation, RSPs, insurance requirements, tax and accounting issues
• Practice Management: Evaluating practice options, remuneration and alternate payment options, setting up practice, staffing issues, office technology.

You will be relieved of all service responsibilities from 8:00am to 5:00pm to attend these seminars. Promptly notify your Program Director and the Postgraduate Office if you have any conflict in being freed from service responsibilities and duties.
