Course Description

Thinking about hiring an associate for your acupuncture clinic, but not sure how to go about doing it? This is for you! 

Hiring associates was one of the best things I did for my clinic and for my life balance. And I think more acupuncturists should consider it. This course is designed to help you feel less overwhelmed in navigating it all. 

First we'll cover the WHY and all the pro's and con's to consider. 

Then we'll cover WHEN to hire associates, because I get asked this question a lot - how do you know it's time to hire an associate? 

And then we'll cover all the steps for HOW to go about hiring an associate. 

As a bonus, I'll share with you the contract I use for my associates, in case that's helpful for you.

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.

I've been thinking about hiring an associate for my clinic for a while now but after watching Katie's video, I know that I'm not at a point where it would be beneficial to hire yet. And I love all the math that Katie goes through to explain how to determine if it would make financial sense to hire or not. I don't have a finance background like Katie does so it's super helpful to see how she breaks it down. I highly recommend this course!
