I am pretty new to the SNF world. This was the first time I approached one on my own. What do you think I should have said?

SNF #2 is in Maryland near DC. I don't know how saturated that area is but the fact that they already didn't have a physiatrist makes me think its not too crowded. After the brief face to face meeting, I later emailed them a proposal detailing how I thought physiatry could benefit them...

I have been working at SNF #1 for about 5 months. I have received good feedback from the DON, exec director as to my performance. I then asked their sister facility about an hour away if they would allow me round on their patients. After failing to answer my emails or return my calls I drove...

Hey guys would love some input on this. If you don't wanna email in public please PM me. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly accurate

I am a physiatrist and this cracked me up. Thanks for the laugh.

If I didn't see it I wouldn't have believed it. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yes. Its a matter of making sure the graduates are well trained across the board.
