From fellows who've been there
“Before this course, I felt lost trying to navigate the paperwork and logistics of private practice. The Private Practice Course broke everything down into simple, actionable steps that gave me clarity and confidence. You can tell Narain has walked this path himself — the way he explained complex steps made the whole process feel manageable, and I no longer felt alone in the journey.”
“I've really enjoyed watching the Private Practice videos — they're clear, insightful, and incredibly practical. The content is well-presented and grounded in real clinical experience, making it both engaging and highly relevant for anyone working in private practice. A great resource from an excellent clinician and communicator!”
“I wish this existed when I finished my Fellowship. The service agreement module alone saved me from a very costly mistake.”
