Our panelists come from facilities that are large, small, and in-between – helping you envision what Pritikin education can look like for your unique program.
Moderated by Pritikin ICR President, Terry Rogers, this session will provide you with a deeper understanding of Pritikin ICR, including:
- Key components of the education curriculum
- What is needed – from a space and staffing perspective – to facilitate the program
- Delivery solutions, such as PritikinLIVE, which help make it possible for any facility to offer ICR
There will be a strong emphasis on the value Pritikin ICR can bring to the patient experience and the opportunity it offers for a strong, sustainable program.
