ASC leaders must be well-informed and prepared to meet all applicable federal regulatory requirements and accrediting organization standards. Hear from expert faculty with extensive experience in ASC management as they discuss what ASC leaders need to know about compliance, finance, quality management and human resources—and how to keep up with the latest information about these critical operational areas. This revamped course, formerly known as the CASC Review, takes place over two half days and will also help you prepare for the Certified Administrator Surgery Center (CASC)® exam.

Session recordings will be available to watch on demand after the live event.

All times in ET.
