Training is a vital part of the on-boarding process for every new hire in a practice but ongoing training is just as important. Team members need to stay well versed in policies, procedures, and new guidelines. Investing in team training will also:

1. Help attract and retain engaged team members
2. Reinforce quality and reduce medical errors
3. Pinpoint team members interested in growth and promotion
4. Create savings for your practice
