Prepare for the evolving demands of clinical leadership in the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) industry by joining the ASC Director of Nursing Bootcamp—a comprehensive, mentored training program designed for new and aspiring ASC nursing leaders as well as experienced clinicians looking to elevate their leadership skills.

With more than 300 graduates, our bootcamps are the ASC industry’s premier training programs for Administrators, Directors of Nursing, Nurse Managers, and Business Office Managers. Now entering its eighth cohort, this proven program combines curated reading materials, ongoing virtual mentoring sessions with expert instructors, and an intensive four-day virtual conference in April 2026.

The ASC Director of Nursing Bootcamp is the most in-depth and practical preparation available for professionals stepping into (or strengthening their performance in) ASC nursing leadership roles.

The program is led by John Goehle, one of the nation’s most respected ASC industry experts and host of The ASC Podcast with John Goehle, along with Laurie Roderiques, RN, Director of Clinical Services for Ambulatory Healthcare Strategies and a nationally recognized authority in ASC infection prevention.

This highly interactive bootcamp is limited to a small cohort to ensure individualized support. Participants will learn through a blend of virtual meetings, email guidance, exclusive resources, and a dynamic four-day video conference—complete with opportunities to interact with faculty and fellow attendees just as you would at an in-person event.

Discounts are available for Ambulatory Healthcare Strategies clients and past bootcamp participants.
