November’s Corner
Using Science and Entrepreneurship to Identify Practice Markets and
Opportunities
Friday, November 20, 2009
Time: 1:00 p.m-4:00 p.m.
CE Credits: 3
Contrary to what many mental health professionals are taught, “entrepreneurship”
is not a four letter word. Theoretical concepts of entrepreneurship will be
presented as they apply to the development of a private practice. Special emphasis
will be placed on developing quality interventions and services in niche markets.
Examples of transferring empirically-based research into services that clients
will need and purchase will be highlighted, as will practice opportunities for
mental health professionals that fall outside the purview of managed care.
This workshop is designed to help you:
- Identify three characteristics of entrepreneurship and how they relate to
developing services in a private practice,
- Describe how to transfer empirically-based research findings into the delivery
of high quality services for clients to purchase, and
- Identify at least five practice opportunities that fall outside of the
purview of managed care.
