About the author

Taught by Dr. Bruce Bassi, MD — double board-certified in Addiction Psychiatry and General (Adult) Psychiatry, who built his own practice from the ground up (primarily virtual, with a physical office and a contracted IOP / PHP program). If you're tired of rigid rules, regulations, and someone else's schedule, this is the honest, no-hype guide he wishes he'd had — nearly 7 hours of video across 50+ lessons where he shares the good, the bad, and the ugly: his mistakes, his systems, and exactly what works. It includes ready-to-use checklists (first day, onboarding, offboarding, telemedicine), example templates (consent forms, articles of incorporation, contractor and supervisory agreements, and more), and a 30-minute 1:1 with Dr. Bassi.
