Topics Designed to Grow Your Practice!
Mindset Matters
Balancing being a great doctor with being an entrepreneur can be a major stressor for a growing practice. In this session, you’ll hear how embracing your inner entrepreneurial can free you to be a better doctor, leader, and practitioner. FABI preaches a simple formula: innovation +efficiency = profitability and better patient care. Discover how the FABI founders and faculty have honed this formula over the last four years to help practices gain more work/life balance, happier team, more confident leadership (all while seeing higher profits with less overtime).
Explore Your Past, Explode Your Future
Profitable practices begin with a thorough practice assessment to strategize short-term and long-term goal setting. Doing this on your own can be overwhelming, especially if you are also busy running the day-to-day operations of your practice. In this interactive session, we will show you how to organize and prioritize your ideas, set realistic goals, and apply actionable goals for the next 90 days that will have a multiplier effect on the remainder of your year.
Concurrent Workshops
Do you usually walk around an exhibit hall at meetings thinking that all the companies just want your business and have nothing for you in return? Their products don’t positively impact your business and minimally patient care. Well….we want to change that. We’ve invited some of our favorite industry partners to provide a unique experience and personalized training to showcase how recent innovations and efficiencies bring substantial value to your patients, your practice and your bottom line.
Is Cash Taboo?
Cash can be considered taboo in medicine, but times are changing. With deductibles getting higher, profitable practices are turning to new avenues for alternative treatments, cash based services and increased patient responsibility. Understanding how cash can help you grow your revenues while better supporting your patients will be a predictor of future success.
Finding the Hidden Money
Are you a slave to your schedule? Are you always running behind? Are you doing yesterday’s chart today? We show you how efficiencies in scheduling and workflow can make all the difference in your bottom line and achieving a work/life balance you deserve. You can improve your practice experience and profitability by involving your team to schedule to a goal. Don’t just fill white space, but rather fill your schedule with the right patients. Leverage technology and your workweek to improve production and create more hours in your day. We show you 5 critical metrics that must be tracked each month to realize your streamlined schedule.
Evaluation and Management
Not all E&M’s are created equal. Get FABI’s unique perspective on E&M – it will increase your patient volume, coding opportunities and bottom line.
Office Administrator Break Out
Doctors, do you find yourself coming back from meetings with great excitement to implement things you’ve learned? Does this become difficult because the people who need to execute change don’t understand why or what?
Practice Managers/Administrators, do you find that you don’t get the direction you need to effectively manage and grow the practice? Does your doctor come in with great ideas but no plan? Do you want to grow the practice but just don’t know how to do it?
This new session is specifically designed for our office managers and business administrators. This session is dedicated to better understanding your doctor, your business and your role in keeping track of it all.
Metrics and Methodology to Find, Hire and Groom Associates
Are you considering hiring an Associate? If not, maybe you should be and we’ll tell you why.
Are you looking to be hired into a private practice?
This session is for both of you.
Last year three Podiatrists in training made a match with their ultimate employer at FABI
We cover how to hire associates, and more importantly, how to keep them. We’ll cover everything from positioning yourself in the market, setting expectations for compensation, best practices for hiring and recruiting strategies, and avoiding common pitfalls for small and large practices. Learn how to structure a fair contract, understand your overhead through key metrics, and evaluate where the money is made in your practice.
Hot seats
Every attendee has the option of applying for a “Hot Seat” — these are one of the most highly ranked sessions in the FABI event experience because they prove you are not alone in the challenges facing your practice and they answer questions you didn’t even know you should have! Hot Seats allow you to come on stage with the FABI faculty, outline a challenge you are currently facing in your practice and get the collective insights of our team of experts.
The Missing Link Driving High Performing Practices
Everyone in your organization has a voice, but sometimes you can’t hear what your team is saying. When people don’t use their voice effectively, meetings go nowhere; time, money and resources are wasted. Misaligned teams lead to non-productive offices sidetracked by drama and gossip. When you understand the “5 Voices” you communicate more effectively, create whole hearted engagement, and stimulate higher performance.
PASSIVITY DOESN'T WORK. PRACTICE DOES.
And at FABI, you'll learn from Doctors who are thriving, not just surviving.
Doctors, not gurus.
Real people who solved real problems. Eager to share with you the innovative business solutions that took them from working IN their business all of the time, to working ON their business.
These guys not only work incredibly hard, but they work SMART. Spending time with family is key. You'll see them on the fairway at the country club, and you'll see them out in their communities.
FABI Special Guest - Bob Whelan
Bob Whelan is a renown innovator, educator and team builder. Bob is one of the most inspiring speakers you will ever hear. He has a knack of bringing out the best in his audience to help them achieve the success they desire.

You will not see someone like Bob Whelan at any other Podiatry conference. He has previously met with FABI Mastermind and they left clamoring for more. Well here it is. Bob is not to be missed.
BUILDING A PRACTICE ISN'T EASY, BUT IT'S EASIER WITH A MENTOR.
At FABI, you have a team of top notch surgeons coming together to share best strategies on how to build your business. Take your practice to the million or multi-million dollar level with a wealth of information from those who actually live what you live and do what you do. Doctors, not vendors.
It's unprecedented.
FABI is breaking down barriers for practice and patient care. When we collaborate, opportunities increase for everyone. Be among the first doctors to embrace this new way of thinking - and among the first to see huge results.
Exploring your WHY?
We all work hard for our patients, our families and for the practice. Why are we doing it? What is the driving force? Before you can understand what you want to accomplish and how you can accomplish it, you need to understand why you are doing it. This session will help everyone get energized to move forward in their lives with an appreciation of where they are and how those around them have similar feelings and challenges. This is not touchy/feely but a true exploration at what drives us and commonly used by high end corporations and professional sports.

“It’s okay to be a doctor and an entrepreneur. An intentional practice is a healthier practice. Consistently provide more in value than you receive in payment, be more creative than competitive and you will enjoy the business of medicine as much as the practice of medicine.”
THE BEST DOCTORS ARE INHERENTLY SKEPTICAL
We are methodical and research driven.
Tactile.
We require more than just theory - we want tangible results. At the top of our field, we are distinguished, highly effective, and trusted as an invaluable resource for our patients.
But why does our skepticism desert us when it comes to the growth and financial success of our practice - our business?
Conventional methods and wisdom tell us that if we are smart enough, people will find us on their own. If we are at the top of our class, our practice will rise to the top on its own. Yet when we see someone else's practice hit the million dollar mark, leaving us behind, we call it luck.
"We're already doing everything right. We're great doctors. They were just luck."
Would you keep treating your patients with a method that only worked with the right luck?
Probably not. if you engaged in that kind of magical thinking, you'd be laughed out of the field - not to mention sued for malpractice.
So why do you treat your business that way?
