Better Conversations = Better Retention = Better Outcomes = More Revenue
The biggest challenge in healthcare isn’t access or knowledge, it’s adherence. Every patient who drops off a treatment plan is lost impact and lost revenue.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) gives you a proven, evidence-based communication method that keeps patients engaged, reduces
resistance, and helps them follow through on care plans.
With 2 CE hours, this course equips you with the skills to turn everyday patient conversations into better outcomes and stronger revenue for your practice.
