A: Ah, the qualifier there is "most practices." It can take a varying amount of time to feel proficient. For some practices, it takes 6 weeks; for others 6 months; and for some a full year.
It is not unusual to sign a contract and have to wait on the vendor's implementation schedule, and that can easily eat up 3 months (or, in worse cases, more).
Don't cut your (or your staff's) training short and your transition time will be smoother.
