Guest guest Posted September 28, 1999 Report Share Posted September 28, 1999 I think that this issue illustrates the importance of recognizing that our " employees " are really something more than that term ordinarily implies. In fact, any therapist employed in any capacity, by any entity, may become competition to that entity in the future. This is the reason why I have stated my belief in considering our " Staff " therapists, as Associates rather than employees. We should look at these Associates as potential partners or potential competition. I think that it is long past time to get away from this employee mindset, and to do so as quickly as possible. I feel this way for a number of reasons: accountability, professionalism, economics, competence, etc. We should be simply asking ourselves a few questions. Do I want to be associated with this individual? Would I want to be a partner with this individual? I think that this would cause us to view this person in a completely different light. Look to the Professional Corporation model for consideration. Ken Mailly, PT President Mailly Consulting Inc. Wayne, NJ khmailly@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
