About Best Practice
There are so many patients that need our help, and that need an integrative, naturopathic, functional approach to healthcare. The health of our business sets the pace for how many patients we’ll be able to support, how many we can help find wellness, and how much impact we can have on our community.

Most of us are drawn to integrative medicine because we’re so passionate about clinical medicine; but as we’re applying to school and our programs, we may not realize that we’ll be running a business as well.

In this episode, we discuss marketing your practice. More specifically, we discuss the attitude and the content of your brand —whether it’s your social media presence, homepage, or more traditional ways your patients discover you.

- Matchmaking yourself with the perfect patient fits.
