ALPHAEON Partners With Physician CEO Program
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ALPHAEON® Corporation, a leader in lifestyle healthcare and a subsidiary of Strathspey Crown Holdings LLC, and SurgiVision® Consultants, Inc., a consulting firm contributing to the advancement of refractive surgery and ophthalmology through innovation and education, announced today a partnership to promote the Physician CEO™ program. The Physician CEO program is a new Certification Program at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University that provides executive business training for physicians in the cash-pay sector of medicine.
The Physician CEO program will debut in January of 2015. Key areas of study include leadership, finance, strategy, operations and marketing. These areas of study are key elements to the long-term success and independence of any medical practice and especially those that offer the cash-pay services that ALPHAEON supports.
"I cannot think of a time that doctors have had to juggle more in order to stay ahead of the curve", says Robert E. Grant, CEO of ALPHAEON. "Following extensive review regarding content and benefit for all ALPHAEON doctors, SurgiVision Consultants and ALPHAEON have decided to work together to extend and offer the program to the ShoutMD® community."
According to Guy Kezirian, MD, MBA, FACS and President of SurgiVision Consultants, Inc., "The Physician CEO program was developed by SurgiVision Consultants Inc. in collaboration with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University to meet the demand for business education, particularly targeting physicians who do not have the time to pursue a full MBA. The focus is on practice growth. ALPHAEON being the leader in the cash-pay space makes for a natural synergy with the Physician CEO program due to the cash-pay focus of this program."
The Physician CEO program is a recognized Certificate Program at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. It will be offered over four sessions, largely over weekends to avoid time lost from practice, that are spaced approximately 10 weeks apart, starting in January and ending in September, 2015. In addition to a certificate from Kellogg School of Management, physicians will also earn Category 1 CME credits (Continuing Medical Education). Information and course registration may be found at www.Physician-CEO.com.
"Education is power. I strongly believe that those that decide to invest the time into this program will find significant benefit to their practice health, strength and future. ALPHAEON is proud to partner with SurgiVision Consultants to benefit doctors and their practices," said Robert E. Grant.
