The first workshop is An Introduction to the Certified Durable Medical Equipment Specialist (CDME) from The Board of Certification (BOC).

The workshop runs run 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Central Time and costs $49 with separate registration required. The CDME application fee costs $50 and the CDME exam fee costs $75 (a 25 percent discount).

The second workshop is the Team@Work Sales Bootcamp from Ty Bello, RCC, president and founder of industry sales and management coaching firm Team@Work Coaching. The Sales BootCamp aims to change behaviors and thought processes, build a team, instill discipline, and make each participant transform into a sales professional.

Scheduled for 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., The Team@Work Sales Bootcamp does not charge a fee to attend, but advance registration is required.

The third workshop is the Retail Fundamentals Workshop, which is presented by Rob Baumhover, COO of Independent Medical Equipment.
