Re: Some ?? about getting started....
Welcome, gina8521!
I feel your pain, lol! I personally could not afford to go to Vickie M's class, though many on this forum have done it and really loved it. Personally, I opted for the LNC Stat program and have not regretted it. Within the first few hours of training, I realized that while you
can do this without training, I personally would
never want to try. I have not started marketing yet, have not obtained my precious first case as of this writing. But I can see there are a lot of nuances, patterns of thought, etc. that are learned in the various training courses that can influence/determine the success or failure of your practice. Recognition of what is missing from the chart, developing the ability to look at any case from the perspective of a potential defense vs plaintiff view point, recognizing whether or not your case has met the 4 elements required, learning what resources are available for researching your case - there is a lot covered in all of these various training courses that is beneficial to anyone starting this as a career. It
can all be learned via the school of hard knocks and experience, but at what cost to your practice overall?
You may want to think about checking out the LNC Stat web page - they also offer assistance in the marketing end of things, and have internshipmentoring available as well. Personally, I found them very personable and helpful. Check out the other threads also, as others have different programs to suggest as well (AALNC, etc.).
Best Wishes!!
