Areas We Help You Have a Greater Impact In
Meet Jay
Jay Geier founded Scheduling Institute in 1997, which has since helped more doctors transform their practices into thriving businesses than any other company in the world. Using his more than thirty years of experience running businesses, he’s connected with tens of thousands of professionals in the medical industry to help them transform their private practices into businesses they can keep for a lifetime of revenue or sell for maximum dollar.
Considered the doctor of doctors, he began the Scheduling Institute after surviving cancer himself to make the biggest difference he could possibly make in the lives of doctors―and, thus, their patients―worldwide.
Philanthropy
Our team believes in reinvesting and creating impact in our communities. We give and serve as a team and as individuals, but what unites us is our love for helping people in need.
Likewise, we encourage our members to find meaningful ways to give in their own communities. At Scheduling Institute, we believe that real success is more than money or recognition—it’s about making a positive impact.
These are just a few of the ongoing acts of generosity that the Scheduling Institute and our members have completed together.
Culture
The difference between a job and a career is impact. And the impact that we create in the world is the foundation of our culture.
What sets us apart is how we go beyond practice growth. Doctors and teams all over the globe are just as passionate as we are about adopting a growth mindset, serving their communities, reaching financial independence, and ultimately, designing a bigger, brighter future for themselves.
