Virtual | September 15-16, 2025
In today’s healthcare landscape, clinicians are the gatekeepers to some of your most powerful donor relationships. But here’s the problem: most of them don’t understand philanthropy—or your role in it. They’re focused on patient care (as they should be). Meanwhile, you’re left on the sidelines, struggling to earn trust, secure meaningful referrals, or access the rich stories and networks that could elevate your campaigns.
Dynamics of Clinician Engagement is your opportunity to change that. In just one concise workshop, you’ll gain the tools, frameworks, and confidence to transform how clinicians perceive philanthropy—and how they see you. Learn exactly how to align your goals with theirs, engage them authentically, and build lasting partnerships that drive stronger donor relationships and more significant gifts.
