KURT MOSLEY

"Doctors Are From Mars – Administrators Are From Venus"

Hospitals and physicians have traditionally been wary allies at best and outright competitors at worst.  What are the underlying tensions that cause physician/hospital conflict, what are the consequences of this conflict, and how can medical group executives help to address it?  This timely presentation examines these questions, presenting the differing perspectives of both sides and suggesting common ground where they can meet in the middle.

Kurt Mosley serves as Vice President of Business Development for The MHA Group, the nation’s leading health care staffing organization. He is nationally recognized as a leading authority on a wide range of medical staffing issues and trends including health care professional supply and demand trends, physician-hospital relations, compensation, compliance and related matters. A gradate of California State University, Fullerton, Mr. Mosley spent several years in professional baseball. He currently resides in Dallas, Texas.

NATE REGIER

 

"The Power of Belief: Making the Placebo Work For You"

Call it the placebo.  Call it the self-fulfilling prophecy. Call it self-efficacy. Whatever you call it, people’s own beliefs in their capabilities are some of the strongest predictors of work success, stress-tolerance, performance under pressure, and susceptibility to illness. Through powerful personal stories, entertaining anecdotes, and even a few research findings, Dr. Regier will explore the power of belief, and how to put the placebo to work for you.

 Dr. Regier began his interest in working with people as the son of missionary parents in Africa in the 1970s-80s.  After completing his bachelor degree at Bethel College, he worked for several years as a mental health worker before completing his PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Kansas.  Since 1999 he has worked with Prairie View’s Integrated Health Services to promote better integration of mind, body and spirit for medical patients, and has published and presented national in the area of behavioral health/primary care integration.
