Clear Health Media Launches practiceDNA Podcast Series

Clear Health Media, a leading provider of healthcare practice tools and solutions, announced the launch of the practiceDNA podcast series.  Clear Health Media launched practiceDNA to fill the lack of business knowledge many practitioners have as they graduate from their professional training.

Practitioners frequently graduate from their courses knowing how to practice their profession, but having no idea about getting started or on the business aspects of running a successful practice.  The practiceDNA podcast answers these problems in an easily digestible format.

The podcast shares the host, Dr Matthew Holmes', business experience.   Dr Holmes is a chiropractor with 18 years in practice.  He has run single and multi practitioner clinics, as well as single and multi-clinic practices.  Along the way he has worked in clinics containing just Chiropractors as well as practices with GPs, Acupuncturists, Myotherapists, Naturopaths andOsteopaths. 

In addition to working in private practice Dr Holmes has over six years experience as a clinical educator and sessional lecturer and tutor at RMIT University.  He brings this teaching experience along with his business experience to create a podcast that is aimed at final year students and new graduates, but also contains something for more experienced practitioners as well.

To date practiceDNA features 3 episodes:

• Employed or Self-employed? From both the employee and practice owner’s perspective.
