Richard Thompson, BA (Hon), DC, MBA
For the past 12 years, I have worn several hats in my career - chiropractor, entrepreneur, business owner and clinic director. It’s been my passion to not only deliver the highest level of care possible to patients, but to also help healthcare practitioners build successful careers. During this time, I also enjoyed acquiring and growing two single-discipline practices into integrative, multidisciplinary centres.
The first few years of any chiropractic practice are not without their challenges, regardless if you become an associate, purchase a practice or start your own. I have made some great business decisions over the years but also made many blind decisions that ended up being very costly, from both a financial and a time-lost perspective.
Practicality was developed to cover key learnings in major areas of business that are critical for chiropractors entering the workforce. Taking my 12 years of clinical and business ownership experience in combination with my MBA education from the Ivey School of Business, Practicality addresses real-world business challenges and solutions for the chiropractor in clinical practice. With high-quality, fundamental training in business concepts and systematic clinical procedures, every healthcare practitioner can become stronger business owners, leaders, and healthcare advocates that lead successful careers and fulfilling lives.
