View Popular Leadership Summit Seminar on Contract Negotiation for Free

June 6, 2023

For many surgeons, particularly those who are employed, a contract forms the foundation of the relationship with their employer. As opposed to employers, surgeons may have limited experience in the principles of negotiating an agreement that most effectively meets their objectives.

The 2023 Leadership and Advocacy Summit featured a mini seminar to introduce surgeons to the basic concepts of contract negotiation with the goal of assisting them to be more successful. Presented by Cathy A. Costantino, Esq., an attorney at the Federal Despot Insurance Corporation, as well as law professor, negotiator, mediator, facilitator, and conflict management systems designer, this well-attended event is now available to view for free online.
