Retired Plastic Surgeon Joel Roskind Set to Lecture
25 February 2010Although retired from his work as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Joel Roskind stays involved in the medical area. In addition to teaching a case management course at Boston University Medical School, Joel Roskind MD will also be extending his services as a teacher in the domains of practice management and facility accreditation.
Joel Roskind MD, who operated a Long Island plastic surgery clinic specializing in body enhancements for over a decade, brings a wealth of clinical experience as well as academic experience, and experience in the business of medicine. He is also intensely involved in the region of practice management, which deals with hiring and training staff, setting up electronic systems and patient relations.
As a practicing surgeon, Joel Roskind learned firsthand changes in the healthcare sector leading to an progressive number of functions being performed outside the traditional hospital setting. Always patient oriented, Dr. Roskind’s concerns about the safety of outpatient and ambulatory surgery facilities extended to a long association with the AAAASF, including over two decades of service as a facilities inspector. He is well positioned to help operators of such facilities meet the highest quality standards demanded by insurers today.
Joel Roskind has always taken a broader view of the medical area, and has played an active role in both regulatory and business affairs. As skyrocketing health care costs gave rise to ambulatory and outpatient clinics, Joel Roskind became interested in patient safety in these clinics, an interest that finally led him to become an inspector for the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAASF).
Dr. Joel Roskind looks forward to bringing his expertise to a broader audience of medical pupils, practicing physicians and surgeons and operators of ambulatory surgery facilities. In what promises to be a very active retirement, Joel Roskind also plans to pursue studies in Judaic spirituality.
