Course Description

A 2010 survey showed that on average, acupuncturists graduate with $87,000 in student loan debt.

That's about what I had when I graduated. It felt totally overwhelming and scary.

Today, five years later, I am debt free (yayyyyy!!)

I'll share my approach and what I learned with you. You can download an excel spreadsheet I made for myself to help me crunch the numbers and figure out the math and the best strategy for me. I'll walk you through the process of how to use and analyze the spreadsheet. So you can figure out the best strategy for you.

I hope it helps!

Dr. Katie Altneu DTCM FABORM

Hello there! I'm Katie. I’m an acupuncturist and herbalist with a practice I love in Denver, Colorado. I've gone through the journey of creating a busy practice. I've learned things the hard way, in the trenches. I've also taught the Business/Practice Management class at CSTCM for four years. My previous career was in economics and finance. I love merging these two worlds. I love our medicine and I'm dying to help other acupuncturists learn the business and marketing tools they need to fuel their practice success. I started creating these resources for acupuncturists online because I want to give you access to the information I wish I would have had from the beginning.As any silly, serious, strategic, personal or professional questions come up, please give me a shout. I’m always delighted to hear from you. Fire off any questions to me at [email protected]. If there is anything I can do to serve you, just ask.You deserve a business and a life you love. I can help.
