What if you can still be the “doctor” and book new patients at events? In this course, you will learn a system that shows you how to book events, how to engage and educate participants at events, and how to book yourself solid for two weeks after the event. Dr. Lev Furman, has been developing this system for the last 10 years and has seen an exponential growth in his practice.
