Third Thursday Webinars

In an effort to keep Vermont’s physicians up-to-date on clinical, regulatory, and practice management issues of importance to their practices, the Vermont Medical Society offers a monthly series of free educational webinars. The webinars take place on Zoom on the Third Thursday of every month, starting at 12:00 p.m. and ending at 1:00 p.m.

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by the Robert Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont and the Vermont Medical Society. The University of Vermont designates this internet live activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Speaker: Vicki Loner CEO and Dr. Norman Ward CMO, both of OneCare Vermont

During the public health emergency, the predominant payment system of Fee For Service in our country caused disruption and challenges to all aspects of the health care community. OneCare Vermont will review some of the lessons learned, describe the actions its providers implemented, and discuss how we can use our current federal demonstration to advance the current payment and delivery system efforts.
