About the Meeting

The Physician Practice Roundtable is hosting its annual one-day meetings for leaders of physician organizations nationwide to examine how independent physician groups are positioning themselves for success in a rapidly changing health care environment.

Featuring the latest Advisory Board insights, case studies, and best practices, this summit will provide an interactive platform for practice leaders to share ideas, discuss feasibility of new strategies within their own organization’s culture and market, and network with peers.
