| over 2 years ago | I am new to this site, am a COT that has been in Ped.Ophth.7yrs, general optometry/ophth.13years, and have recently been given an new opportunity by the CEO of our ESOP in Denver, CO to create my own position basically to do internal marketing/patient education material, also to coach and train techs as they work toward becoming certified, assist with training on HRT/PHP/OPTOS retinal imaging to bring basic non certified assistants up to speed as well as remaining 2 days in my usual COT position. Anyone know of resources I can access as I create my “title” and plan of action and implementation of the marketing/training aspects? I have utilized JCAHPO material to attempt training programs in the past for our practice with limited success due to the high turn over of un-certified/front desk help turned techs that our HR person tends to “promote” when these employees get tired of front desk work. Our practice is moving in a more positive direction with our new CEO so I have fertile ground to help our practice grow in the technical training aspects and want to be more of a coach to motivated these young inexperienced techs to get serious about certification and becomeing more professional. Anyone info will be greatly appreciated! |
| over 2 years ago Administrator | Have you reached out to any of the COTP (Consortium of Ophthalmic Training Programs) member programs to see if they would share ideas and resources with you? I would think they would be a great starting place. Copy and paste this link to see a list of accredited programs: |
