Description

Hiring is one of the biggest decisions you’ll face when opening a private practice — and it can feel overwhelming. Who should you hire first? What if you make the wrong choice?


In this episode of Physicians Hanging a Shingle, I break down the hiring process step by step so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.


You’ll learn:



  • The first roles to consider hiring (and how this varies by practice model)

  • Why it’s more important to define responsibilities than to fill titles

  • Practical strategies for finding the right candidates

  • Interview tips that go beyond résumés and credentials

  • How to set expectations and create a culture that keeps staff invested


Whether you’re months away from opening or just starting to dream about your clinic, this episode will help you see hiring not as something to fear — but as an exciting chance to build the team that will carry your vision forward.


Tune in now to hear the full conversation.
