CA Hiring and Onboarding

The more I speak with chiropractors, the more I realize they are doing too many things that are not in their unique abilities and they are not maximizing their DC license. Too many are going lone wolf for too long. There is a time and place for it, and there are absolutely DC’s who enjoy that style of practice and are comfortable with the growth restrictions. 

This episode isn’t for the happy lone wolf. It’s for the frustrated lone wolf who is doing too much. It’s for the DC who is doing too many $20/hr tasks and finds themselves hitting the Ceiling of Complexity. 

In this episode, I interview Cassie Hulme on all things Chiropractic Assistant. We discuss a wide array of topics that include but are not limited to: 

  • What does a CA do?

  • What does maximizing the DC license mean?

  • The ROI of a great CA

  • Hiring a CA

  • Onboarding and continual training of a CA.

  • Team development and leadership

The more I progress in our industry, the more I realize having a core team of DC, Front Desk, and CA is a great path to growth and burnout avoidance. Layering a team on top of that follows the growth you achieve.
