PECAA’s Cold Start Practice Program supports doctors who are in the process of opening a brand new practice with special membership above and beyond PECAA’s standard member programs.
Based on many conversations with PECAA’s Cold Start Members, PECAA’s Cold Start Practice Advisor, Jenny Wiley, has created an article with 5 Tips to Consider When Opening a Cold Start Practice. You may also download a timeline that will be a helpful guide for you to know when you should begin incorporating certain things into your new practice.
The Member Business Advisor team helped me through every step, from conception to execution. I look forward to continuing to reap the benefits of being a PECAA Max member as my practice grows.
