"Mr. Lincoln Rose" is picked in honor of a new Strategy

Not just any rose from P&B's garden, Mr. Lincoln Rose-- our absolute favorite --is picked tonight in honor of this new online continuing education class offered at El Centro College in Dallas on the Basics of Credentialing. This three week course beginning June 8, 2009, is the first in a series of online continuing education courses in medical staff services that will be offered at El Centro College. This class is not only online but it is affordable at less than $10 a credit hour and is taught by one of our most knowledgeable and recognized professionals in our field, Cindy Gassiot.

The Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of Medical Staff Professionals proudly sponsors this class as part of our strategic plan to offer alternative methods of education offerings that are close to home, affordable and always of high quality.
