Episode notes

In this episode of The Dental Economist Show, host Mike Huffaker sits down with Kara Kelley founder and CEO of Clinical HR. Clinical HR is a specialized advisory firm that helps dental and medical practices design strategic human resources systems, develop leadership, and build competitive reward programs to attract and retain top talent. The conversation explores how HR serves as an advocate for the business by protecting it through compliance, audits, and well-defined culture. Kara shares her unique journey from clinical massage therapy to dental HR consulting and provides actionable advice on navigating modern hiring challenges, the risks of "working interviews," and how to effectively scale HR functions as a practice grows.
