After a 30 year career as a plastic surgeon, New York’s Dr. Joel Roskind now plans to provide his experience to other doctors, both established and new. Accomplished physicians may profit from confabbing with him in the areas of practice management and outpatient facility accreditation. On the clinical side, medical students at Boston University will have the chance to take Integrated Problems, a differential diagnosis course, from Dr. Joel Roskind.
Joel Roskind, who ran a Long Island plastic surgery clinic specializing in body enhancements for over a decade, brings a wealth of clinical know how as well as academic knowledge, and experience in the business of medicine. He is also intensely engaged in the area of practice management, which deals with hiring and training staff, setting up electronic systems and patient relations.
As a practicing surgeon, Joel Roskind saw firsthand changes in the healthcare industry leading to an progressive number of processes being performed outside the traditional hospital environment. Always patient oriented, Roskind’s worries about the safety of outpatient and ambulatory surgery facilities led to a long association with the AAAASF, including over two decades of service as a facilities inspector. He is well positioned to aid operators of such facilities meet the highest quality standards demanded by insurers today.
Joel Roskind MD was heavily involved with the AAAASF during the cost-induced shift from hospital to outpatient procedures, and is well versed in patient safety and regulatory compliance matters surrounding outpatient and ambulatory clinics. He has also taken a keen interest in the business side of medicine and now advises in the area of practice management.
Dr. Joel Roskind looks forward to bringing his knowledge to a broader audience of medical pupils, practicing physicians and surgeons and operators of ambulatory surgery facilities. In what assures to be a very active retirement, Joel Roskind MD also plans to pursue studies in Judaic spirituality.
