PRESENT Step Into Your Future Practice Management Workshops 2008 Scenes from last year’s workshops It's the time of the year again to begin planning for your participation in this year's Podiatry College Workshops and Vendor Shows.  For the 7th  year, Future Medical Solutions, PRESENT e-Learning Systems, and SOS will, once again, be sponsoring our practice management workshops at the podiatry colleges around the country.  The :"Step into the Future Podiatry Practice Workshop 2008” is a presentation on making the transition from student/resident to practicing podiatrist, in conjunction with a Vendor Show. SOME BACKGROUND There has always been a huge vacuum in practice management teaching at medical schools, that begins to become perceived as critical when students reach the ends of their academic careers. That is why the students, and more so, the residents, gave us such an enthusiastic reception at the 4 tours that we’ve done so far.  The general practice management courses at the podiatry colleges teach general principles, where we teach specifics gained from many years of practice experience.  Podiatry students have no benefit of hindsight…they only look ahead and wonder how they are ever going to learn to run a successful practice. What we delivered at the colleges that we’ve done so far was appreciated as a nuts and bolts positive workshop on essential practice marketing and management skills.  YOUR OPPORTUNITY We’re most excited about this 7th year of College and Residents Programs that we’re doing again this year.  The Deans at most of the colleges have now made our program a regular part of the colleges’ practice management curriculums and this year again, will be canceling all other classes and closing the schools for the event, assuring a great turn out.  This is your best opportunity to reach the most influential and impressionable segment of the podiatry market that have always been so hard to reach...students and residents. THE PROGRAM   THE VENDOR TRADE SHOW Vendors that sell products that podiatrists use are very anxious to meet the next generation of young podiatrists. This will be a small version of the exhibition hall that we all encounter at clinical conferences, where we will have companies at each location set up tabletop displays to teach the attendees about the uses of their products. The LOCATIONS and DATES for the workshop series in 2008 are are: March 13, 2008 Thursday San Francisco, California School of Podiatric Medicine March 29, 2008 Saturday Miami, Barry U. Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Program April 16, 2008 Wednesday Cleveland, Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine May 9, 2008 Friday NYC, New York College of Podiatric Medicine LECTURES AND MANUAL The “Step into the Future Podiatry Practice Workshops” consists of lectures for the college seniors and residents, both focusing on overcoming the challenges in making the transition from student/resident to practicing podiatrist.  We will be providing a luncheon for all attendees, as well as a Vendor Show that we invite you to participate in.  All students and residents will also receive our Practice Management Manual, filled with our collective 36 years of experience on practice building and practice management. This is a 100+ page Practice Management Manual, which contains a host of valuable resources which we only wish we had received when we were students. We have assembled the best articles on organizing a new practice and marketing that practice.  There is a complete selection of the best forms for streamlining the work flow in a practice, that were contributed by podiatrists all over the country. Finally, we are giving the attendees a valuable Employment Contract that cost thousands of dollars to produce, to help them achieve a fair deal with their first employers. SIGN UP At this point, we're assembling a list of Vendors who may want to participate.  We'll send you specific info including directions to the events, preferred hotels and an address where you may ship your display materials, as the time grows closer.  For now, CLICK the button below to Pre-Register: We have a great new program planned for this year and are eagerly looking forward to returning to the nation's podiatry colleges this year to deliver it to a whole new crop of podiatry students and residents.  We hope you can join us ! Sincerely yours, Alan Sherman, DPM CEO, Future Medical Solutions CEO, PRESENT Michael Shore, DPM Founding Member, Future Medical Solutions Founding Member, PRESENT   Here are some of the thank you letters that we received after last year’s programs, to give you an idea of how much they all appreciated the Step Into Your Future Practice Management Workshops: FEEDBACK FROM COLLEGES I want to personally thank Dr.'s Alan Sherman and Michael Shore for taking the time and effort to coordinate a practice management seminar for NYCPM graduates this past week. If more of the practice community were as concerned about the students as you guy's, we would be much better off. The graduates were treated royally and not only provided some key practice management tips from the perspective of a full time practicing DPM, but arranged for a wonderful lunch and exhibit show as well. To top off the day, each graduate was given a flatpack and other valuable items. The true value of this event was a clear message to these wonderful graduates and now current colleagues that the profession does care about them and is willing to welcome them in. The class of 2002 is bright and energetic and represents the future of our profession. Thank you Alan and Mike for what you did. Michael J. Trepal, D.P.M., F.A.C. F.A.S. Vice President For Academic Affairs And Dean New York College Of Podiatric Medicine 1800 Park Avenue New York, New York 10035 212 410-8067   Dear Drs. Sherman and Shore, On behalf of our administration, I would like to thank you and Dr. Shore for meeting with our residents, following your scheduled presentation to our senior students last week. Both students and residents received valuable information from your Podiatry Online program. We thank you for your efforts, especially on such short notice for the residents' presentation, and commend you for promoting podiatric medical education. Sincerely, Vincent J. Hetherington, PM Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine University Circle 10615 Carnegie Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44106 (216) 2313300 Dr. Sherman, Dr. Shore, Tim and Nick, Thank you for a wonderful visit last week and including us in your tour of schools. We appreciate your time and energy in coordinating and presenting the "Step into your Future" seminar. In talking with our students who attended the program, they appreciated the very practical information on setting up a practice, and they particularly loved the doctor's bags. You were all a pleasure to work with and I look forward to this seminar being an annual event, as well as teaming up with you again on other initiatives. Thank you again for all of your efforts! Sincerely, Kelly W. Lie Acting Dean of Student Affairs and Admission Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine 10515 Carnegie Avenue Cleveland, OH 44106 Dear Alan and Michael, Thanx for all you are doing on behalf of our graduates and seniors. Chet Evans, DPM Dean, Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine Dear Dr. Shore and Sherman, I wanted to thank you on behalf of my graduating class at the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine for the incredible seminar that you sponsored on May 20 of this year. There were so many questions that we had as a class about life after graduation that were answered by the seminar. Drs. Shore and Sherman did an outstanding job at communicating what we would encounter as we continue our podiatric career. And we cannot thank you enough for the medical bags, flat packs and supplies. They will be utilized the rest of our careers and we appreciate your generosity and willingness to sponsor such an important event. We have already told our dean that this should be a scheduled event for every graduating class! Thank you again and I look forward to working with Moore Medical in the future. Dana Giacalone, DPM President, TUSPM Class of 2002 The problem is we get no experience or education on business in school. Dr. Sherman and yourself are doing a great service with your lecture series, in fact I told Dr. Hetherington that it was the most informative lecture for me personally in the past two years of residency. That along with the website are an incredible service to the profession and ultimately to the patients and I'd like to be a part of it. Keep up the great work. I hope to speak with you soon! Sincerely, Jason D. Crilley, D.P.M. Student, Ohio college of Podiatric Medicine As you can see from these letters, which were just a small part of the rave reviews that we received, the COLLEGE PROGRAMS were warmly and enthusiastically received at the colleges and they are all anticipating next year’s program. Many of the students told us that they learned more about building and running a successful podiatry practice in this program than in their entire practice management curriculum.
