Marketing for the Clinician, the Practice, and the Profession: An Interactive Workshop

Speakers: Steven G. Lesh, PhD, MPA, SCS, ATC;
Lynn Steffes, PT; Alexis Waters

Description: This interactive course will be dedicated to the theory and application of marketing strategies across three levels, including the individual clinician, the health care organization, and the
profession of physical therapy. Marketing theory will be integrated into the real life application of
advertising, promotions and public relations for the physical therapy professional in open, freeflowing
discussions. Interactive break out sessions will enable course participants to evaluate, analyze and improve upon marketing plans, tools and strategies that they have brought to the course. The practicing clinician will leave this course with real examples of effective and efficient marketing strategies that can be taken back to enhance self promotion, clinic visibility, and greater public awareness of the profession.
