Associates

Hiring, onboarding, and fully training a chiropractic associate can be one of the most important and rewarding growth phases of your career. However, if not done properly, it can be a more stressful and resource-draining endeavor. 

 

Hiring an associate can improve your overall patient experience, increase the revenue and profits of your practice, and free you up to avoid professional burnout. Let’s look at this as an opportunity for the owner-doctor and associate to grow professionally and be a mutually beneficial arrangement.

 

In this episode, I discuss my thoughts on the associate dilemma and how we can improve it in all aspects. We talk about the following aspects. 

  • When to hire an associate 

  • How to position yourself as a strong candidate to get a great associate position 

  • Why it is so difficult finding great associates and great associateships 

  • Do you have the patient flow to support an associate

  • Are you ready to onboard, train and mentor an associate properly 

  • Can you afford an Associate 

  • Onboarding Considerations
