Workshop Topics:

  • Start-up essentials, options and strategies
  • Further education, training and specialization
  • Securing locations and rental/employment agreement terms that work for you and your patients

  • AOM students planning their future practice
  • Recently-licensed acupuncturists
  • Those transitioning to a new practice model or location
  • Those re-entering the profession
  • Anyone who wants support in starting and building a safe, sustainable and satisfying practice!

Participants receive:

  • A “starter kit” of sample spreadsheets, clinic operating procedures, and marketing and educational materials
  • On-going access to class notes and discussion forums
The topics in this class are continued in the afternoon 2:00-6:00 p.m., with Building Your AOM Practice:
