Events details:
You invested months finding them, weeks onboarding them, and now you can feel the distance growing. Maybe they seem disengaged. Maybe they’ve already started talking about leaving. Associate turnover is one of the most expensive and disruptive problems a practice owner can face — and most of the time, it was preventable. This session digs into what actually drives associate satisfaction, longevity, and performance. By the end, you’ll stop losing great vets to burnout or better offers and start feeling confident that your practice is the kind of place talented doctors want to build a career.
4-Week Breakdown:
- Week 1: Understanding what associates actually want — compensation, autonomy, growth, and culture
- Week 2: Identifying early warning signs — how to recognize disengagement before it becomes a resignation
- Week 3: Career development and mentorship — giving associates a reason to stay and grow
- Week 4: Building a retention strategy — structure, communication, and culture that makes leaving less appealing

What practice owners are saying
"We had hired the same type of person four times and it kept not working out. Our interview process was basically screening for people who interviewed well... not people who would actually fit the job. We changed two things in how we hire and our last two hires have both made it past six months, which honestly felt impossible before."
— Practice Manager, Georgia
"The onboarding week was the most useful for me. I had no idea how much of our turnover was happening in the first 60 days because we were just throwing people into the deep end. We built a proper 30-day framework and it's made a real difference."
— Dr. Chris, Practice Owner, Michigan
