About the Presentation:

Congratulations, you finally got Dr. Jones to refer to your service. How do you meet her needs and those of the patient and family so that she will utilize your services again? Providing medical consultations is a distinct art form of medical practice, with well established rules to which consultants must adhere, or risk curtailing future business.
