Professional Will Essentials:
Ethical, Compassionate, and Practical Solutions
Friday, March 27, 2026 | 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM CST
Join us for a practical workshop that addresses a critical but often-avoided professional responsibility: creating a comprehensive Professional Will.
This three-hour workshop addresses the clinical, business, and ethical considerations of abrupt practice suspension as it impacts patients, colleagues, and family. Dr. Robyn B. Miller will guide you through components of a comprehensive Professional Will and considerations in selecting a Practice Executor capable of fulfilling your wishes.
Several accessible solutions will be presented to help navigate this essential task, ensuring ethical compliance, protecting patients from the risks of traumatic termination, and sparing colleagues and family from unnecessary burden. Insights are drawn from Dr. Miller’s firsthand experiences as a Practice Executor and will feature pitfalls and best practices.
