They trained you to treat. The rest you were left to work out on your own. Regulators exist to protect the public, not to protect your income — so nobody tested you on the first forty seconds of a phone call, or on whether you can say a fee out loud without apologising, or on how many of the people who enquire actually start. Twelve minutes on the three numbers that describe how a practice behaves, why small changes compound rather than add, and a twenty-minute exercise you can do on one sheet of paper this week. For chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists and allied health practitioners — whether or not your name is on the lease. 00:00 What this is 00:19 Thirty years, and what school left out 02:12 Why I'm the one telling you this 03:07 Sunday night, and the numbers you fuss about 04:06 Your training succeeded — it's the systems, not your technique 04:46 What nobody ever tested you on 06:00 Conversion: three things a first-time caller is deciding 07:25 Retention: won or lost in three minutes 08:22 Why 100 becomes 121 09:14 Nadia 10:02 Twenty minutes and one sheet of paper 11:16 Where to go from here The book: The Missing Semester — paperback $9.99, Kindle $4.99, on Amazon.

Real questions. Real answers. No theory. When you're a new graduate or early-career practitioner, the business decisions feel overwhelming. Should you take locum work or pursue an associate position? What does an associate agreement really protect? When should you incorporate? Who should you hire first? In this episode, I'm answering seven questions I hear constantly from doctors, therapists, and healthcare professionals building their practices. Drawing on 30 years of clinical and business experience, I break down: ✓ Locum vs. associate work for new graduates✓ Associate agreements—restrictive covenants, notice periods & employee status✓ Incorporation timing and tax strategy✓ Hiring your first staff member✓ Social media conversions and the missing CTA✓ Navigating platform changes (and resilience when they happen)✓ Writing and webinars as credibility tools—even if you don't feel like a "writer" This is The Missing Semester—the practical framework they don't teach in graduate school but wish you'd learned on day one.

Nobody teaches you how to run a practice. Gabby asks Dr. Cary Yurkiw about the four ways into private practice, the contract clauses that trap new grads, when incorporating starts to make sense, who to hire first, and which marketing actually works. In this episode: - Locum, associate, partner, owner — and the real trade-offs - Five-year terms and non-competes: what to walk away from - The $100,000 line where incorporating starts to pay - Hiring order, from family to office manager - Why healthcare ads get flagged — and the account he never got back - Books and audiobooks as evergreen assets FREE LIVE WEBINAR — THE MISSING SEMESTER Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET Register free: https://linktr.ee/truenorthpm Dr. Cary Yurkiw, DC has practiced for thirty years and owned clinics for over twenty-five.

You graduated an expert in your profession. Nobody taught you how to run the business around it. Dr. Cary Yurkiw and Gabby talk through the part of private practice that school leaves out — and why 30 years, 50 locums, and a lot of notes taught him more about running a clinic than any classroom did. FREE WEBINAR — The Missing Semester Saturday, September 12 8:00 AM Pacific / 11:00 AM Eastern Register free: https://tr.ee/tX5Nt2Vf9X Inside: the one number to track before you spend a dollar on marketing, how much to actually reinvest per new patient, why care plans hold a practice together, and why more new patients won't fix a reputation problem. For doctors, dentists, chiropractors, physiotherapists and therapists in private practice — especially new grads, associates, and anyone thinking about opening their own doors.
