What is CEO.D.®? Over the years, doctors, practice owners and executives have grown to love and trust the data-driven content within the Management and Business Academy™ (MBA) to grow their businesses. Using the original MBA program as a foundation, we have taken the best practices and expanded them into an immersive program to help you implement the principles real-time in your practice.
*CEO.D and/or MBA do not refer to educational degrees. Completion of these continuing education courses will not result in a degree.
