The course will discuss how social responsibility in a healthcare profession is actually good business and how we must build social entrepreneurship into our business models in order to succeed professionally and financially and fulfill our social contract. As private practice owners, you are in the best position to design business models that simultaneously illustrate our obligations as a doctoring profession. Presenters of this course will share WHY integrating social responsibility into healthcare practice business plans is a good business decision and how it can strengthen you financial and professional success. Social responsibility does not simply mean providing charity or passive donations but rather involves active engagement of your business to be part of the solution to address the broad health needs in your community.
Participants will gain an appreciation of WHY social responsibility is one of the Big 10 to designing profitable private practices, learn how to integrate business literacy and social entrepreneurship, burst myths of non-profits, challenge past beliefs, and take away pragmatic tools that can make ideas become a reality. Innovative entrepreneurial business model examples that integrate social responsibility into the fabric of their design will be discussed, and participants can explore how you too can be part of the movement to foster, "One Health", while succeeding in private practice.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

-describe why social responsibility is an essential component of successful private practice design

-discuss how current graduates are now being prepared to assume our social contract as DPTs

-discuss the myths of non-profits: what they can and can't do
