*What is a ‘small’ practice? A practice with one owner and/or spouse and several employees is a small practice. Most midsize and large practices might have the structure of a small practice: a number of owners/partners and shared employees with anywhere from a handful to as many as 15 employees per partner, depending on the practice type. So even though a 50-person practice is definitely larger than a 5-person practice, if this practice has 5 partners with 9 employees per partner, it is simply a scaled version of the small practice. Once a practice has more than 50 employees, demographics becomes less of an issue, but everything else that applies to a ‘small’ practice will also apply to medium and some large practices as well.
