Hiring physical therapists for your private practice isn’t guesswork — it’s a business skill. In this MBA for the DPT episode, we break down how clinic owners can improve interviews, set clear salary expectations, avoid hiring mistakes, and build a team that actually fits their culture.
If you’re a PT owner, director, or future clinic leader, this lesson matters. Bad hires cost revenue, damage morale, and slow clinic growth. Strong hiring processes create stability, better patient care, and long-term profitability. The difference isn’t luck — it’s structure, clarity, and better questions.
We cover layered interviews, performance reviews, exit interviews, salary transparency, reference checks, and the legal guardrails every PT owner must understand.
This is business school for physical therapists — without the tuition bill.
