The final course featured a panel of physicians and industry experts moderated by Society CEO Clint Cummins. Thank you to Dr. Neal Beckford, Dr. Catherine Womack, Dr. Wiley Robinson, DeSoto Floors CEO Chris Churchill and Jeff McIlvain from First Tennessee Bank for serving on our panel. Throughout the course, there were many excellent presentations and real-world stories from physicians and industry experts such as Dr. Lee Berkenstock, Dr. Jerome Thompson and Holly Bronson from Triumph Bank..
