Definitely worth paying for it. There's so much information that I didn't know or would have had to spend hours researching on my own.

This is a cost-effective and EXTREMELY helpful way to learn key points in starting a small business. If you tried to figure this information out on your own, it would take you weeks, and many mistakes could be made along the way. This is a smart way to interact with an expert and glean from her own experiences.

How to have Interns in your Practice

The best combination of online and in-person learning to help you learn how to have interns in your practice.
This course contains several sections of a comprehensive explanation on how to have interns in your practice.

Interns and supervisees are frequently sought by practice owners as a means to give back to the future generation of therapists by offering high-quality supervision that they wish they had or to make additional cash without hiring another staff. Financial investments in systems are required to fulfill legal, ethical, HIPAA, and other requirements relating to having interns and supervisees in your practice.
This course will help you understand the most common mistakes practices make when they have interns and supervisees, as well as where to look for the answers you need and how to create a supervision environment that gives you peace of mind that you're ready to integrate interns and supervisees into your practice in a way that is beneficial to both parties.

Check out this course to start building the foundation for interns in you practice.
