Seminars & Workshops

The Sage Group provides continuing education for physicians, administrators, and healthcare executives. We take the responsibility of presenting realistic business, practice management, and marketing information to the medical community.

We pride ourselves on presenting concrete, concise, practical information that is easy to understand. Our speakers have been featured at The National Association of Healthcare Consultants; The Society of Medical and Dental Consultants; Medical Group Management Association; numerous national, state, and regional medical societies and associations; major teaching and academic institutions; managed care organizations; and healthcare systems.

You can select from our standard presentation list. Or, if you prefer, we can customize a program for your specific needs. Our multimedia presentations are interactive with audience participation and a question and answer period.
