The best way to balance the needs/interests of AMC clients with the AMC itself is to have fully educated and informed parties on BOTH sides of the issue. Sadly, too often the AMC staff members are so closely aligned with the client, that they may not be able to effectively advocate a solution that is also fair to their employer, the AMC. This session will combine a panel of experts to discuss this challenge as well as creative solutions.
11-11:50 a.m.
