Associate Driven Practice Program

Build a practice whose future does not depend entirely on you.

Evaluate your next move, prepare for implementation, and plan an associate's development with private guidance from Dr. Dean DePice.

One complete program. Work through it at your pace over approximately two months.

Watch Dr. Dean introduce a more intentional way to think about your practice's future.

Look five years ahead

What do you want your practice to make possible?

Maybe you want fewer hours adjusting while staying involved in the practice you built. Maybe you want to grow, develop another doctor, or prepare for someone to carry your work forward.

Or maybe an associateship has already fallen apart, and you want to understand what to do differently.

Those goals deserve a plan.

ADP gives you a structured way to work through readiness, training, compensation, responsibilities, and the future of your practice before making decisions that are difficult to undo.

Preparation creates options

Three steps toward a clearer future.

You do not have to be ready to retire - or even ready to hire - to start planning.

01

Assess whether your practice is ready

Examine the financial, patient-volume, staffing, and space considerations that shape your readiness for an associate.

02

Prepare for implementation

Explore how to advertise, interview, evaluate the working relationship, and begin training with fewer avoidable surprises.

03

Plan how the relationship develops

Use the seven-level ADP framework to align training, responsibilities, compensation, and expectations over time.

A complete working system

A framework you can use. Guidance for your practice.

Build from an established structure, then use private conversations with Dr. Dean to apply it to your goals and circumstances.

Is this your next step?

Built for practice owners thinking beyond today.

You are considering your first associate and want to assess readiness.

You want a more structured approach after a difficult associateship.

You are exploring growth, greater flexibility, or fewer patient-care hours.

You want to begin preparing for an eventual transition to an associate.

The program focuses on building and developing an associate-driven practice. If your goal is an immediate sale without an associate relationship, it may not fit your needs.
