FAQ
If you are a physician or practice implementor/administrator seeking to grow your practice and set it up for a financially sustainable future, advanced-technology implant adoption is a smart investment. Not only does it offer a cash-pay revenue stream, but it meets a growing patient base that is expecting more spectacle independence from surgery. This course will give you the tools you need to navigate the patient journey and the business side of advanced-technology implant adoption through an in-person intensive learning experience and with an extensive resource library, essential for ensuring success of this endeavor.
“I have essentially doubled my conversion percentage, which was my initial goal, [less than 3 months post-course]. I do believe one aspect that I (and probably others) overlook is the confidence factor. I gained more confidence in the ATIOLs just from hearing about personal experiences from [Dr. Vance Thompson] and all the others that spoke at the conference.” —Jeff Holt, MD, 2024 BRiCS attendee, Holt Eye Clinic, Arkansas
Physician attendees should be an ASCRS member to attend this course.
An implementor is the person in a practice who assists the staff members who then go on to assist the patient at various stages in their patient journey. This person is usually in a lead position on the practice staff and would assist the physician attendee in sharing and implementing the knowledge acquired in this course in the practice itself.
Upon completion of the onsite portion of this course, you will receive access to an extensive resource library that includes:
- Customizable business forms used at every touchpoint in the advanced-technology implant patient journey
- Supplemental learning resources and how-to’s
- Surgeon and team checklists to build confidence for success in various scenarios
- Educational slideshows for the team, referring doctors, patients, and community
- And much more that attendees will learn about, be able to take home, and have access to for full practice use
In addition implementation webinars hosted by BRiCS faculty will take place to help BRiCS alumni with any questions or any challenges that they’ve experienced since the in-person course.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of the community of surgeons and implementors who are also looking to growth their practice with advanced-technology implants and faculty who have proven success with the principles encompassed in this course. Ongoing community support will include direct touchpoints with course faculty, live Q&A webinars with faculty and alumni, exclusive access to an alumni LinkedIn group for ongoing content, open discussion, community support, expert mentorship, and success sharing.
All sessions will be captured and made available to attendees only on the ASCRS website.
