Hi all,
I am going to be a MS1 in the fall and am very interested in psychiatry. I understand that it's more than a little early for me to be considering practice settings, but I am curious none the less.
The notion of running a solo private practice is very appealing to me and I believe I have the entrepreneurial nature to be successful in this setting. I believe that if I was going to open a private practice I would want to do it alone so that managing it would be on my own terms. That being said I have heard that this can be a very isolating experience. My question is how easy is it to obtain a part-time academic appointment while also running a solo private practice to experience the "best" of both worlds. Any and all feedback is appreciated!
Thank you!
