Client Comments

I hesitated to sign up for Dr. Cohn’s seminar Practical Strategies for Engaging Physicians because I  thought that it would be like all the rest: general principles, outdated statistics, and platitudes.

Was I surprised! Dr. Cohn is a practicing surgeon and passionate educator who shows case reports of revenues rising, expenses decreasing, and clinical outcomes improving when hospital leaders and physicians use specific techniques that he covers in his two-day seminar.

Dr Cohn discussed physician advisory groups, physician champions, medical staff models, recruitment and retention, and engaging physicians who do not want to be engaged with easy-to-remember case presentations and entertaining anecdotes. He and his practicing physician co-presenter made it easy to interact, reflect, and learn in a safe setting.

What differentiates this course from others became immediately apparent: Dr. Cohn and his co-presenter gained their wisdom through real-life experience – taking disparate groups of administrators and physicians and guiding them to success with tools and techniques that are built to endure. The approximately 200-page binder will be a treasure trove of action ideas for several years to come.

I strongly recommend Dr. Cohn’s seminar to all health care administrators and physician leaders.

Just to acknowledge the high degree of appreciation I had with respect to your presentation, “Practical Stategies for Engaging Physicians.”  I was able to take away some excellent concepts and ideas and was much better off for having attended.  I really enjoyed your presentation style.  Not only was your thorough knowledge of the subject very evident, your enthusiasm and passion manifested themselves throughout your presentation.  Of particular note, were the various literary references and storytelling that you utilized to make points much more vividly for the listeners.  Again, thanks, and hopefully I will see you in another presentation in the future.

I have attended many CE offerings in and outside of ACHE during those decades, and I do not remember a speaker who held my attention for as many hours as you did. It was a tour de force performance mixed with humor, information, and useful insights on an important subject.  I wrote down ten or so Action Ideas that I will be following up on.
