In the functional medicine world, there are about six or so organizations that provide business support.
Here are two options that I know of are headed by a licensed practitioner (which I think is important to keep in mind, since I’ve found that many do not understand the limitations and liabilities behind having a medical license). Both of these are focused on health coaching, and being able to see patients all over the world (while still having an active license):
- Evan Hirsch M.D. Virtual-MD: Dr. Hirsh’ program focuses on the 5 key steps needed to transition to a virtual practice – especially the marketing and legal aspects – but he does not accept everyone into his program. A free call with him will tell you who his program is for. Click here to sign up to access an informal recorded Zoom talk we did in September 2020
- Maggie Berkhoff DNP: Maggie is a mom of 3 who offers a Mastermind (only available by application 1-2x per year), but she does have a much lower cost course for those that need help getting started and are willing to be on camera to get the word out about their business! A lot of focus is on how social media can bring in clients.
