Future Docto
Kimberly Palmer-Yee, DC Past President, WSCA Board of Directors
Take a moment to think back to your first day of practice. How did you feel? Who did you turn to for answers, suggestions, and information?
The average chiropractic graduate has less than 30 hours of business education. Where did you learn about insurance contracts, the difference between a Limited Liability Company (LLC), and a S-Corporation, (known as an S-Corp)1
; and the importance of registering for
your National Provider Identifier (NPI) number? Who even heard of an NPI number in school? Are there specific people or organizations that helped you get to where you are today?
All this knowledge that you have acquired in all your years of experience, are you willing to share it with the next generation? At our clinic we have connected with several chiropractic colleges and enrolled with the WA State Chiropractic Quality Assurance Commission (CQAC) to be preceptors. We have found that each college has different requirements and application processes.
We have had a few different interns and even hired one of them. We have also helped our other students secure jobs within the network of WSCA members. We like to think that we taught these students a few things but surprisingly, we learned a few things from the students, too. So, I encourage you to reach out to your alma mater and apply to be a preceptor.
Are you looking for an associate in the future? Getting a preceptor student into your practice may be a good starting point. Even if that student is not a good fit for you, there may be someone you can suggest to them. Potential candidates may also, have a classmate who is a good fit for you. But more importantly we, as a profession, need to do a better job mentoring our young doctors. Their success is vital to our success and to the future of chiropractic.
