Tired of putting our best efforts forward for our patients and not getting any real positive gains? What if I told you you CAN be excited about your profession again? Look forward to Monday morning (Maybe…who REALLY looks forward to Monday mornings?) by looking at new technologies, scientifically proven treatment modalities and social media that can get your patients back on track and you inspired! We will discuss how to shift our current way of providing care for our patients by revisiting the old and incorporating the new. Some highlights to look forward to:
