Let Me Introduce Myself...

Alisha M. Pennington MS, ATC

I have been establishing relationships with physicians for nearly 10 years, as I have run a staffing company that requires me to do so with each new district contract. I took everything I’ve learned in those years about how to approach a physician, knowing what to ask and be prepared to answer, as well as what to put in place once the relationship is established providing a well rounded curriculum for you to be able to duplicate my results in your own professional life.

Who this IS for:

✅  The professional who has struggled to find a physician to work with because they don’t have an established network and have no idea where to look.

✅  Anyone who is overwhelmed by needing to answer legal questions, navigate conversation around insurance, or intimidated to say the wrong thing regarding referrals.

✅  The Athletic Trainer that dreams of aligning themselves in a quality relationship where they are respected and their patients are cared for.

Who this IS NOT for:

❌ The professional who knows the credentials to look for in an ideal physician, places to search for those specifically credentialed physicians, and are confident in finding them.

❌ Anyone who is well versed in anti-kick back law and is comfortable navigating conversation about how to stay legal in referral situations.

❌ The Athletic Trainer who has a well established relationship with their physician with built out agreements and standard operating procedures.

If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase this course, I want to let you know that it goes beyond continuing education units. This course incorporates real life examples to make the information more applicable to your own situation, and it even gives you sample standing orders, conversation starters, and emails so that you can contact a physician to begin that relationship today.
