What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Practice' training within the 'Starting Point' program is conducted virtually and is self-directed. This portion of the training requires 49 hours of classroom instruction, but no on-the-job training. The 'Starting Point' program also includes 'Clinical Systems', 'Administrative Systems', 'Software', 'Marketing' and 'Compliance' training which are all virtually and self-directed as well.
In contrast, the HealthSource University program includes 'Introductions', 'Practice Management', 'Clinical Systems', 'Administrative Systems', 'Software', 'Marketing', and 'Compliance' training, all of which take place in Avon, Ohio. The 'Practice Management' and 'Clinical Systems' portions of the HealthSource University program include both classroom and on-the-job training, while the other sections are classroom only. The 'Observation' portion of the Starting Point program requires 40 hours of on-the-job training at the franchisee's clinic.
Prospective franchisees should note the distinction between the virtual, self-directed training for the 'Starting Point' program and the in-person training offered in Avon, Ohio, as part of HealthSource University. Understanding the format and location of each training component is crucial for planning and budgeting purposes. Franchisees should also inquire about any additional costs associated with attending the in-person training in Avon, Ohio, such as travel and accommodation expenses.
