This training relates to direct practice as it aims to help the clinician build a practice that will benefit the clients it serves and ensure their practice adheres to the strictest of ethical principles. Participants will learn how to build a private practice that meet the needs of the clients they serve and strengthens both the client's treatment experience and the profession as a whole. This training is split into 3 consecutive Tuesday webinars. Participants must attend all 3 sessions to earn CECs. DAY 1 covers the top mistakes people make in private practice, and begins to layout the framework for building a better one. We will explore the nuts and bolts of who, why, where, and when to open a private practice. Then we will dive into how to set up your practice with your own policies and procedures.

- 5:30 PM1hMath Club: Solving equations by factoring, by Georgia Harbor-Collins (UConn)The study of integer solutions to polynomial equations in two or more unknowns is a topic that goes back to ancient times. With Diophantus' book 'Arithmetica' (c. 270 A.D.) inspiring the likes of Fermat, these so-called Diophantine equations paved the way to modern day number theory. We will see how the integer solutions to these equations can sometimes be determined by factoring part of the equation in a way that reveals a hidden structure. Note: Free refreshments. The talk starts at 5:40.
