This practical, skills-based workshop provides participants with the essential tools to
transform their academic learning into a successful private practice. The course covers
the different stages of setting up and maintaining a private practice and learning the
nuts and bolts of finance, marketing, advertising, and networking. Participants also
will learn strategies for how to work through avoiding many of the common challenges
and shortcomings clinicians often face as part their professional development.
By the end of this workshop, which is designed for students and licensed clinicians,
participants will have developed an individualized business plan that will prepare them
for building a successful, meaningful practice. Past participants proclaim the workshop
helped them break through their avoidance of putting an appropriate amount of energy
into practice-development and affirm it was immensely helpful in directing them
toward the future that they wanted to create for themselves.
