Hi! I love your content, I'm so lost in the beginning of this journey. Do you have a video of the resources we can give to our patients? I think there´s so much I need to do before jumping into a private practice but at the same time I think maybe I don´t need to have everything ready and resolved (materials, content, a good feed on instagram, etc)

Hi! Glad the content has been helpful! You definitely don't need to have everything ready! I wasn't using social media much when I started (mostly did in-person type marketing with events and networking). I don't have a specific video on resources, but I built out my resources as I went in private practice. I have go to links I usually send like the American Heart Association and the CDC (specific pages based on questions). I also have a Google Drive folder with different PDF handouts and handouts I have created over the years. Even if you don't have a resource ready just yet, most times, I end up sending resources after an appointment (so if I have it I send it and if I don't I find or create it)!

Hi felicia! Your videos have been so helpful with how to get started on a business- thank you! I have all the credentialing stuff down, but i'm stuck on the next steps! So far, I signed up for an EMR (Healthie) and will be getting an eFax number. Can you please make videos on the process of getting referrals from doctors (paperwork, how all that works; do I make my own forms?), and how everything is done before a patient appointment? Thank you!!

Thanks for the feedback! Glad the information has been helpful so far.
There will be a video coming out this week on referrals!
