In this episode I discuss issues surrounding timing in micropractice, including

• how long does it take to plan and launch a direct care micropractice?
• important rate-limiting steps to consider
• how long does it take to become profitable or to fill a panel?
• what is the best time to start?

*In the original audio for this episode I mis-stated my year 2 micropractice salary as 180k, correction is 220k (last salary at my previous job working 0.8 FTE was 180k), removed the error because I was too lazy to re-record!
