Naturopathic Doctor Gains Confidence in Treatment Protocols and Primary Care Efficiency

Hi, my name is Janine Buisman Wilcox, and I'm shooting this video because five years ago, I was struggling to feel confident in my practice and struggling to know if the things that I was offering to patients in terms of treatment plans were the best options. And I was spending a lot of time researching options for each individual patient. After The Confident Clinician program, my practice is much better because I feel very confident in the treatment protocols that I'm putting together for patients. I feel like it's pushed me to consider things from more of a primary care perspective, which I think is serving my patients really well because that's something that's been more difficult to access these days in Ontario, and it's given me more time to be able to see more patients and also more time to really, like, spend with my family and enjoy my evenings and that kind of thing. I highly recommend The Confident Clinician program because the information is top notch. It's really, really up to date, it's very well organized and very well researched, and it has saved me a lot of time and has allowed me to feel really comfortable and confident in my treatment plans, which has allowed my patients to see really great results. Before working with The Confident Clinician program, my life was more complicated. I spent a lot of time researching for individual patients and felt like I was creating my own protocols and like my own Google documents with all of the information that I was gathering on my own. What made me say yes to The Confident Clinician was attending a few webinars that Jordan had presented and I started at the very beginning and so I really, actually had no point where I was, like, unsure about it as soon as I attended a couple webinars, I was like this sounds amazing, because the content was always just, like, so usable right away. And I really liked the very, like, straightforward, clear approach and I knew that that would help me to like be able to practice more efficiently more than anything else. If there was something that might have prevented me from getting started it would have been the time commitment. I know. You know, it's at least 3 hours a month with like two webinars twice a month and there's so much other content to go through and so I was a bit concerned about being able to get through it. But I found that even when I'm not able to attend calls live or even listen to all the recordings, the information is really outlined in a very easy to find way. And so I can find the little pieces that I need even if I haven't ever like attended the top or listened to the whole thing. I think what surprised me the most about The Confident Clinician program was how it actually has allowed me to be a better primary care provider. I think it's pushed me to understand our role as naturopaths, like not only as this like alternative area but also as a way where like we have the time to spend with our patients to really think about what we should be thinking about for like prevention in future and having conversations that like maybe they should be having with their family doctor but just that they're not having time for and so feeling really confident in being able to support patients from that perspective. The Confident Clinician helped me step up and be a go to expert in my community by just really giving me that confidence to understand and really feel like I very well know the information that I'm talking about and then I'm sending emails about to like my email list and on social media and that kind of thing and I feel like I have so much research to back up the information that I'm presenting and so really that confidence honestly, has been the biggest thing for me. I would recommend The Confident Clinician program because it's impossible to know everything in your brain and there are not amazing resources outlined for naturopathic doctors that kind of look through conventional and alternative approaches. And this is a resource that does that, this is a resource where we can see all of the pieces in one location to be able to find that information really easily and to be able to practice then really efficiently and so that we can like see more patients and make a bigger difference.
