64. The Associate Doctor Playbook: Hiring, Training, and Thriving Together w/ Dr. Matt Hill
Description
In this episode of the Family Practice Podcast, Dr. Tony and Dr. Matt pull back the curtain on one of the most important (and misunderstood) aspects of growing a thriving chiropractic practice: how to hire, train, and build unstoppable associate doctors.
They dive deep into redefining the word associate, challenging old-school chiropractic culture, and sharing the systems, mindset, and leadership principles that turn team members into empowered co-leaders, not replaceable employees.
