This review is from: Into Practice: A Comprehensive Guide to Getting Into Chiropractic Practice - Quickly, Efficiently, and Successfully (Paperback)

I'm going to be graduating in about 9 months so I can't attest yet to how much I will be relying on this book, but so far it seems extremely helpful. It is a very thorough manual that provides a lot of the things that practice management companies are promising to my classmates and I as selling points. Chapters on things like floor plans, financing, office systems flowcharts, marketing, etc. So far it seems very comprehensive and I will definitely be referencing it a lot when I graduate and continue the process of getting into practice.
