Success Leaves Clues: Building a Functional Medicine Practice from Scratch

Dr. Shane Holland joins this week's podcast to share his experience with the Practice Accelerator. Shane's story is one we hear over and over amongst our Practice Accelerator participants. In this series, Success Leaves Clues, we celebrate alumni stories in conjunction with our current open enrollment period, running September through October 2022. Shane began his career as a teacher and later became an emergency medicine physician, and he is currently transitioning into operating a functional medicine practice. Over the years, Shane has been interested in treating patients with chiropractic manipulation, herbs and supplements, and lifestyle adjustments. Still, he did not have access to a clear path toward building his own clinic around those strategies.   As an emergency medicine physician, Dr. Holland observed that roughly 90% of his patients did not require emergency care and were using emergency services in lieu of primary care. The training he received from The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) provided him with greater clinical insights into preventative medicine to better serve his community, and the Practice Accelerator program then guided him through building his practice.   Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Holland's story, including: The challenges he faced during his journey His clinic's payment model and layout How the Practice Accelerator supported the launch of his new clinic The benefits of scheduling a concierge call with our coach, Patrick
