Running an ophthalmology practice—whether small or large—requires leaders to balance clinical efficiency, financial performance, and physician‑driven governance. Yet newer practice administrators are often asked to improve operations without a clear understanding of how ophthalmology groups typically structure leadership, delegate authority, or determine appropriate staffing levels. This webinar offers a practical introduction to how ophthalmology practices organize themselves, make decisions, and staff their teams. We’ll also walk through a roadmap to help you assess your current structure and identify leadership and staffing needs moving forward.

Objectives: During this webinar, participants will:

1. Governance & Structure: Learn how ophthalmology practices organize leadership and decision‑making to support operations and patient care.
2. Staffing & Benchmarks: Discuss staffing ratios and department metrics to ensure your team is structured for productivity and patient flow.
3. Leadership & Roadmap: Review a roadmap to clarify roles, strengthen accountability, and guide your practice’s next steps.

Managing patient demand alongside provider availability and staffing resources can be one of the trickiest parts of running a high-performing clinic. In this webinar, emerging leaders will learn a practical framework to step back, assess true provider capacity and patient demand, and build an intentional plan for staffing and support. We’ll cover how to allocate and utilize technicians to improve provider throughput, how to evaluate whether scribes may be beneficial, and why cross-training across all service lines is essential to reduce reliance on any single individual and strengthen long-term practice sustainability.
