Additional tools will be provided to enable clinical leaders to understand reimbursement systems, find satisfaction in this specialty, and ensure residents receive compassionate care. A mock deposition will also be demonstrated to emphasize the importance of documentation. The goal is for this conference to be informative and fun.
