Program Details
This program is perfect for:
- Physician, dentist, and other allied health profession practice owners and leadership
- Healthcare practice managers, clinical directors, and administrators
- HR professionals working in healthcare settings
- Practitioners with established clinics considering ownership transitions
The audience will leave with:
- Frameworks for hiring, disciplining, and terminating staff without increasing legal exposure

- Strategic approaches to protecting company intellectual property and engaging in clinical research
- Insight into private equity dynamics and key considerations when preparing for outside investment or ownership transition
Program Summary:
Healthcare professionals are extensively trained in clinical care, but few receive formal preparation for managing teams, structuring compensation and ownership models, navigating employment laws, or reducing regulatory and operational risks. But for medical and allied health professionals leading private practices, these types of day-to-day decisions often present the most significant financial and legal exposure.
In this session, Kristen Nugent focuses on the legal and business challenges that shape the stability and profitability of small and mid-sized clinics. From hiring, discipline, and compensation policies to compliance, documentation, and key-employee retention strategies, she equips healthcare leaders with knowledge and skills to manage risk and build resilient, high-performing teams.
Program content centers on general healthcare operations and workforce management, but it also can be customized to address broader corporate structural considerations, including private equity activity, MSO models, ownership transitions and succession planning, and long-term strategic positioning.
Format: 20 - 60+ minutes; in-person or online.
Also available as a customized intensive half-day or full-day workshop.
