Start On The Right Foot

This course helps a new hire get started with the right mindset and attitude

  • Office Basics

    First, we’ll set the groundwork for why we’re here - to serve patients. If you keep the patient first and foremost every additional skill will make more sense. We want you to be a leader in your role and think beyond checking tasks.

  • Production & Goals

    To stay in business every office needs revenue and we’ll show you how each position impacts production. Then we’ll show you how to communicate in a way that helps patients value your office, team, and their appointment.

  • Team Mentality

    Teamwork is one of the most important skillsets we’ll discuss in this course because it impacts the patients and the flow of the office. Running a profitable and efficient practice takes a teamwork approach from the front and the back office.
