How it works

Four steps, and we confirm everything with you

Greenlight always approves availability directly with your clinic before anything is final. Registering never locks your team into a date.

Meet your rep

Our Commercial Team stops by with a flyer and a two-minute overview of the program.

3

We confirm with you

Greenlight approves the date, doctor, and topic directly with your clinic — never unilaterally.

4

We bring lunch

A Greenlight doctor teaches 45 minutes of practical cases in your space, over a meal on us.

Two ways in

Take one of our published dates, or name the day that fits your clinic’s rhythm and pick a topic from our list. Either way our Commercial Team calls you to confirm — and if nothing is open yet, you stay on the waitlist for the next round.

✓

Nothing is booked until Greenlight confirms availability with your clinic.

✓

No date open near you? You stay on the waitlist for the next round of sessions.

✓

Sessions are free, RACE-relevant in content, and built around your caseload — not our services.

Registering places your clinic on the waitlist. Greenlight always approves the final date and topic with you first.
