Welcome to the Pacific College of Health and Science podcast channel. Today’s podcast is part of a series called Private Practice Plus.
The purpose of this podcast is to provide acupuncturists, and other independent health care providers with ideas to expand their practices.
By expand, I mean both grow the number of patients or clients you see and also to expand the boundaries of your practice and your career.
To that end, to provide inspiration and ideas, I am inviting practitioners who have had both busy private practices and who’ve also created businesses, written books, teach, or created other additional income streams beyond private practice.
These projects can provide direct financial rewards, or help build your brand, your recognition as a healer and expert in your particular area of healthcare.
They can also bolster your enthusiasm for the field, the career you are in.
As you will see and hear, there are no shortages of opportunities for growth in the field of healthcare.
Your patients, your clients, your community and you will benefit from every effort you make to expand your career. I hope you enjoy the show.
