Just like any in-house team member, a virtual assistant requires applied practice to become an effective part of your practice.
The first few weeks are critical for onboarding and integrating your new VA into your workflows and practice culture. During this time, focus on setting clear expectations, providing detailed guidance, and offering feedback.
Keep in mind that it typically takes 60-90 days for a virtual assistant to reach peak efficiency, so allow for this adjustment period as they become familiar with your systems, patients, and preferences. Patience and structured support during this time will pay off in long-term success.
