Building a Practice While Keeping Your Day Job

How to Launch a Private Practice Without Burning the Bridges That Pay Your Bills

Most psychiatrists don't wake up one morning and suddenly leave their employed position.

Instead, they build thoughtfully.

They test ideas.
They create systems.
They learn the business side.
And they gradually develop a practice that gives them more flexibility, autonomy, and fulfillment.

If you've been thinking about private practice but aren't ready to walk away from your paycheck, benefits, or sense of security, this workshop is for you.

In this practical training, you'll learn how to begin building a private practice while maintaining your current job.

During this workshop, you'll learn:

• How to determine whether now is the right time to start building

• Common mistakes psychiatrists make when trying to "do both"

• Understanding employment agreements, moonlighting policies, and restrictive covenants

• How to choose a realistic timeline for launching

• What you actually need to get started (and what can wait)

• How many patients you need before considering a transition

• Managing your energy, time, and family responsibilities

• Creating a financial runway that reduces stress and risk

• Strategies for avoiding burnout while building something new

• The mindset shifts that make the transition easier

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is ideal for psychiatrists who:

• Are employed full-time and considering private practice

• Have started exploring private practice but feel overwhelmed

• Want additional income streams without leaving employment

• Are planning a future transition but aren't ready yet

• Want a practical, realistic roadmap rather than hype

What You'll Leave With

By the end of this workshop, you'll have a clearer understanding of whether private practice is right for you, what steps to take next, and how to build strategically without putting unnecessary pressure on yourself or your family.

You don't have to choose between security and freedom.

You can build both.
