ABOUT PRACTICE ADVISORY SERVICES

Physicians have spent many years acquiring professional skills but very few have received training in administration and practice management. PAS offers services each with the objective of providing the physicians with a sound basis for making important practice management decisions, which in turn helps them take better care of their patients. We also facilitate the resolution of questions, issues or concerns between physicians and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. PAS consultations are strictly confidential.

Practice Advisory Services (PAS) is a division of Professional Services Department under the executive directorship of Dr. Michael Thoburn. PAS is a member service designed to provide advice to help physicians manage their medical practices in a more efficient, cost-effective manner.
