Here a few things that I cover today: How do you know when it’s time to hire another testing psychologist in your practice? And how do you decide if you want another psychologist rather than a psychometrist? Once you make these choices, where do you actually find another psychologist?Do you bring on this person as an independent contractor or W2?What do you ask and how do you interview another psychologist?
