Finally, you will learn how to obtain the enthusiastic support from medical institutions and manage the administrative issues of your program.

Bonus CD

The accompanying CD contains a wealth of handouts, schedules, photos, videos, publicity information, a PowerPoint presentation suitable for Grand Rounds, and other valuable documents—all developed and used by Dr. Kane in her practice. Use these proven tools for an efficient and smooth program implementation.

Introductory Consultation

No book can cover all situations or answer all questions about developing a Medicine and Horsemanship program. In order to help you succeed, Dr. Kane is including 30 minutes of private consulting from Dr. Kane. Use this time to ask any questions about your unique challenges and make plans for the future of your program.
