How to ask for GMSI symposium training on a tight budget

April 8, 2010

Credentialing Resource Center Digest - Volume 11 Issue 14

We know travel budgets are tight and sometimes requesting training opportunities can be a challenge. To make it a little easier on medical staff professionals and hospital leaders, we’ve included a justification letter for your CEO (or hospital administrator) to sign off on your entry to this year’s symposium in Chicago:

Greeley Medical Staff Institute Symposium (June 8-9): Main Conference
Post-conference Workshop (June 9, 1-4pm): ED Call Solutions: Compensation that achieves collaboration
Post-conference Workshop (June 9, 1-4pm): Engaging Physicians in Quality Improvement Initiatives
Post-conference Workshop (June 9, 1-4pm): Medical Staff Bylaws: Contemporary Best Practices and Impact of New Joint Commission Standard MS.01.01.01

The justification letter includes talking points and learning objectives that you can customize, depending on your facility’s most pressing issues. It can’t hurt to ask!
