Costa Mesa, CA. – July 2nd, 2025 – This year’s Academy of Doctors of Audiology, ADA, AuDacity conference will feature a unique panel of clinician/practices owners during the General Session on September 26, 2025, titled, A Dentist, an Optometrist and a Veterinarian Walk into an Audiology Conference.
Doctors who own a private practice – from dentistry and cosmetic surgery to veterinary medicine and optometry - face similar challenges and opportunities. This panel, sponsored by CareCredit, consists of four successful doctors who will share strategies that “worked for them” so that audiologist/practice owners can adapt these best practices to their specific patient base and community dynamics.
“We are ecstatic to be able to host this session,” said Stephanie Czuhajewski, MPH, CAE, Executive Director. “This innovative panel will allow AuDacity attendees to step outside our specialty to understand how other private practice owners successfully deliver exceptional care while managing a thriving small business. Topics to be discussed include how managed care, marketing and community outreach, advocacy efforts that advance professional objectives, removing financial barriers to care, effective use of assistants and extenders, and scheduling strategies.”
Jessica Lawley, VP Client Marketing, Health and Wellness at CareCredit agreed, “During one of our focus groups at last year’s Audacity conference, participants asked us how dentists, vets, and optometrists manage and build their businesses. To share these valuable insights and ideas, CareCredit is pleased to bring four top doctors to the stage for a General Session. CareCredit is also giving the session attendees, “Private Practice Thrival Guide: Practical Wisdom from Successful Colleagues” a book featuring practical advice from the panel doctors and several more and will have the panel at our booth after the general session to answer questions.”
The 90-minute session is expected to draw more than 500 attendees and is scheduled from 1:45pm – 3:30pm on Friday, September 26, 2025.
