A guide to help you learn how to start a private psychiatric practice.
In-depth advice, step-by-step guidance, and document templates to save you time, money, & stress.
Written by a former UCSF psychiatrist now running a seven-figure private practice with 11 clinicians, serving hundreds of patients across California.
Do you wish for more autonomy in your career? Considering private practice but scared of the business aspects?
My goal with this eBook is to help you avoid burn-out by launching a private practice. I've helped many graduating residents and employed psychiatrists make that transition successfully and so it reflects everything I have learned and everything I wish I had known when I started.
Save dozens of hours by following the guidelines outlined in this e-book. Avoid mistakes and learn what you may have missed. Perfect if you have not yet started or if you have & are looking to scale.
Transform what is often an arduous and scattered experience into one that is methodical and builds on itself to help you achieve your business goals.
In-depth templates to give you a strong jumping off point for key practice documents — e.g. tele-health consent, release of information forms, pricing increases, and the good faith estimate.
