iaedp Foundation Webinar: How to Start Your Own Practice: Practical Steps to Launch with Purpose and Confidence
21 October @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Starting an eating disorder practice can be one of the most rewarding—and daunting—decisions for mental health and medical professionals. This webinar is designed to demystify the process by equipping participants with practical knowledge, tools, and frameworks to navigate the early stages of establishing an independent practice. Whether exploring private practice for the first time or transitioning
from an institutional setting, attendees will gain clarity on how to align clinical and business priorities to build a sustainable practice. The session introduces foundational business concepts, including practice structure, competitive positioning, and long-term planning, alongside key clinical considerations. Particular attention will be given to the importance of clearly defining and communicating your clinical approach, not only to enhance patient care but also to establish credibility and coordination within the broader eating disorder treatment system. Participants will gain a clear understanding of common mistakes, areas of risk, and strategies for success through the lens of a mission-driven, patient-centered practice.
