Are you tired of feeling disconnected from your patients?
Compliance standards and excessive documentation keep us in front of the computer instead of the patient. Low reimbursement rates mean packing the day with appointments. This isn’t what we signed up for.
Dr. Larry Benz suggests concrete, researched based ways of doing things differently and finding ways to humanize healthcare in Called to Care.
In Called to Care, you’ll learn how to:
Break out of your cycle of speed and disconnection
Renew your purpose to get back to why you became a medical professional or caregiver in the first place
Improve the patient experience so you can reconnect with both your compassion and your calling
