Abstract:
Medical practices are often so busy that physicians and their staff have difficulty seeing the big picture. A well-organized practice retreat can provide needed time and space for tackling large practice management problems and establishing new goals.

In addition, the author shares practical do's and don'ts for organizing worthwhile medical practice retreats and makes suggestions about possible locations for retreats, recommended follow-up, and team-building exercises.
