Joel Roskind Retires from Medical Practice to Engage in Lecturing
Although retired from his occupation as a plastic surgeon, Joel Roskind MD stays involved in the medical sphere. In addition to instructing a case management class at Boston University Medical School, Joel Roskind MD will also be providing his services as a advisor in the domains of practice management and facility accreditation.
Dr. Joel Roskind, 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 know how, and knowledge in the business of medicine. He is also intensely engaged in the domain of practice management, which deals with hiring and training staff, setting up electronic systems and patient relations.
As a practicing surgeon, Dr. Joel Roskind learned firsthand changes in the healthcare sector leading to an progressive number of processes being performed outside the traditional hospital environment. Always patient oriented, Dr. Roskind’s cares about the safety of outpatient and ambulatory surgery facilities extended to a long association with the AAAASF, including over 20 years of service as a facilities inspector. He is well positioned to help operators of such facilities meet the highest quality standards required by insurers today.
Joel Roskind MD has always taken a broader view of the medical domain, and has played an active role in both regulatory and business affairs. As skyrocketing health care costs gave rise to ambulatory and outpatient clinics, Dr. 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).
Joel Roskind MD has always trusted that because patients put so much trust in their physicians, doctors have a special obligation to make sure patients get the best possible care, and he has worked throughout his career to make sure they are protected by strict safety standards. He trusts to continue to contribute to the medical domain in this domain as a consultant. In what promises to be a very active retirement, Dr. Joel Roskind also plans to pursue a personal interest in Judaic spirituality.
