Resident Practice Management Lecture Series
Residency Program Lecture Series in Practice Management

Now it is easier than ever for orthopaedic residency programs to fulfill the ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) requirement for Systems-based Practice (SBP), while teaching residents important practice management concepts and skills.

The Resident Practice Management Lectures Series (RPMLS) are audio-slide lectures presented by orthopaedic surgeons, practice management consultants and Academy staff - experts in orthopaedic practice management. Each 20-30 minute lecture focuses on a specific topic designed to fulfill SBP requirements. RPMLS is a convenient way to teach your residents these topics that define System-based Practice:

  • Tools and techniques for allocating practice resources
  • Understanding of financing/insurance structures
  • Practice financials
  • Evaluating risks and benefits of costly prescribing
  • Patient safety
  • Health system resources
  • Error reduction strategies
An initial one-year subscription includes all 22 lectures:
