The Blair Chiropractic Society is honored to have Dr. Dan Murphy speak at 2008 Blair Chiropractic Conference in Dallas, Texas, September 26-27.

I was on the edge of my seat. This man has an unbelievable ability to retain, assimilate and present the latest review of research in a way a 5th grader could understand! You are not going to want to ...
On Tuesday at my staff meeting I am posting a standing offer for $1000.00 to anyone who would like to quit! Sounds crazy but I think this is a win / win for both the employee and the employer. In my experience when someone quits they actually check out months ago. The employee is no longer enrolled in the bigger vision and is now imposing their schedule of scanning craigs list, IMing friends and perusing monster.com on the company's dime. During this time there is an immeasurable loss of productivity, things being brushed under ...
On Thursday I had the huge honor of speaking at the Spring for Life conference at Life West Chiropractic College.

I firmly believe that you can't grow anything you can't measure. A book I highly recommend called "The Game of Work", Charles A. Coonradt, speaks well to the need for metrics. In his book he used a widget company as an example. He ...
One of my favorite questions to ask a prospective associate is where they see themselves in 3-5 years. I usually qualify he answer i am looking for by asking them to expand on their vision of what their practice looks like. Almost without exception the biggest unknown is how many patients they are seeing in one week and how much money they think that might equate to. And if they were to know how many patients they wanted to see... how many new patients they would need to see each week to achieve ...

This is a great question and should be top of mind for students in their last year of school. Let dig into your options. Internship/Preceptorship This is a period of time spent in a college approved clinic. The most effective of these is a preceptorship in which you spend your last 3-4 months of of school inside a real clinical setting. This opportunity can super valuable for a number of reasons. First, you have little to no idea of how an office really works. In fact if you were to extrapolate your ...
