Description
Communication, follow-through and trust greatly impacts the degree of success achieved when working with faculty. From understanding their philanthropic needs to articulating donors' wishes, helping physicians understand their role and how best to work with development is not easy. With NIH funding at an all-time low, physicians' ability to interact comfortably with grateful patients and introduce them to development personnel is critical, especially with the challenges HIPAA presents. The presenter will share training created specifically for physicians; touch upon best practices in helping faculty and be more comfortable working with researchers.
