TESTIMONIAL

CHANGED MY FUTURE

“I had an amazing time! The knowledge acquired, empowerment, and networking have changed the future of my business and personal life.”

ISIDRO L.

Finally achieve CEO-level confidence and skills to maximize your pediatric practice's potential!

(without getting an MBA)

Running a profitable pediatric practice is hard, especially when...

You're drowning in day-to-day operations and can't find time to be strategic.
Your staff brings every little problem to you and aren't empowered to solve issues themselves.
You feel stuck and aren't sure how to get your practice to the next level.
You know you need to invest in yourself but aren't sure where to start.

You need strategy and support to help you master day-to-day practice management and learn how to grow your business!

THE PROBLEM

the same old stuff

just isn't cutting it

You’ve attended conferences and streamed podcasts, but it’s all easier said than done. You just don’t have the support system to get the traction you need to effect change.

no matter how hard you try you

just can't build the team

You’d love to share the load with your team but who can trust them to do it right? It’s easier to just do it yourself and be sure it’s done correctly the first time. Less stress for you that way, right?

you have so many dreams but

just not enough time

You have great dreams for your practice but with the challenges of constant interruptions and an inadequate support system, you can’t get past just treading water.

TESTIMONIAL

must attend

“This is THE conference every private pediatric practice owner needs to attend.

jamie h.

With all of these challenges, wouldn’t it just be simpler to sell out to private equity?

Imagine...

You spend your time focused on being the visionary CEO of your practice.
You have time to work on your business, not just in your business.
Your days are spent strategically moving your practice forward.
Your staff brings you solutions, not just problems. They are equipped to handle day-to-day issues and you trust them to make good decisions.
You're confident in your abilities as a CEO and know you're on the path to success.

This is all possible with the frameworks, tools, and coaching you'll get at Pediatric CEO Intensive 2024.

Do you want to take your practice to the next level?

TESTIMONIAL

To fulfill their vision by working on their business rather than in their business.

Imagine empowering your team to take ownership of their day-to-day challenges in your office so you have time to focus on your own CEO work.

MORE TIME...

Imagine honing a vision for your practice and then setting it in motion so you can have more autonomy, more freedom, and more impact.

MORE IMPACT...

Imagine building such a strong framework in your practice that you never have to entertain another private equity call ever again…

very well thought out

"The speakers and the breakout programs were very well thought out. The content of the program will definitely make a difference for my independent pediatric practice.

RESULTS DRIVEN

WHAT TO

EXPECT AT PEDIATRIC CEO INTENSIVE

For pediatricians who want to take their visionary and leadership skills to the next level.

ENERGIZING EXPERIENCE

"I started working on a resume two weeks ago because I was tired of getting nowhere with my practice. This weekend totally rejuvenated me and made me realize how to tackle my problems and gave me the energy to do it."

-2023 Intensive Attendee

LIFE CHANGING RESULTS

"Attending the CEO intensive and having to listen to theory changed my whole business plan. Organizing and structuring our office and recognizing what I needed to do to lead (not what others needed to do), was life-changing."

-2023 Intensive Attendee

Here’s the truth:

Too many pediatricians are selling their practices because they lack the confidence and skills to run a business in today’s world.

But being an entrepreneur isn’t rocket science.

And it definitely isn’t medicine.

If you can make it through medical school, you can learn what it takes to crush the business side of your practice.

So don’t give in to the high-pressure private-equity-of-the-month club. Instead, do what you’ve always done and hit the books.

Learn the skills.

Show them who’s boss!

You worked really hard to get to where you are. Why leave it all on the table now?

There are so many physician’s conferences. What makes this one different?

We specifically designed Pediatric CEO Intensive to be different. It's the only event completely focused on leadership and business strategy for pediatricians. You'll learn from true experts in the field, not just sponsored speakers. And you'll be surrounded by growth-oriented peers you can really connect with. If you're ready to shift from pediatrician to CEO, this is the place to do it.

This is expensive. Is it really worth the investment?

Believe us, we understand the financial pressures of running a practice. But we also know that investing in yourself is the best way to get to the next level. The tools and frameworks you'll learn will continue to serve you for years to come. 97% of last year's attendees said it was well worth the cost (and many saw ROI before they even left!). We've packed massive value into just 3 days to make it more than worth your time and money.

What's included with the purchase of a ticket?

With a general admission ticket, you’ll receive access to all Main Event, Workshop, and Networking sessions listed on the agenda.

Drop us a note. We love connecting with partners who support our tribe. Request a vendor prospectus at [email protected].

I'm considering selling my practice to PE. Should I still attend?

Signing up for Pediatric CEO Intensive may be the best thing you can do for yourself and your practice if you're entertaining an offer from a PE firm. Get clarity on your vision and plan so you can face your decision with confidence.

I'm not a pediatrician. Can I still attend?

If you’re in a different specialty, much of the content at Pediatric CEO Intensive will work well for you, but we have tailored our event to a pediatrician audience.

If you're a manager or administrator and your relationship with the practice is that you provide true visionary and strategic guidance to your owners, then this event may be for you.
