Starting your private practice is one of the most exciting things you can do as an NP or PA, but it shouldn’t mean doing everything alone.

That’s exactly what we want for every clinician we work with. If that’s the kind of support you’re looking for, we’d love to help.

As a PA or NP entrepreneur, where do you spend most of your non-clinical time each week?

You’ve launched your practice, congratulations! Now comes one of the most common questions we hear: “How do I find patients?”

Here’s what we’ve learned after supporting thousands of NP and PA entrepreneurs: your first patients are often closer than you think.

They might be former patients who already trust you, peers who respect your work, or members of your local community.

The key is to make it easy for them to refer others by clearly stating who you help, how you help, and how they can book.

Your community, reputation, and relationships matter more than you think. If you’re a PA or NP entrepreneur, here are a few ways to start growing your brand today:

- Connect with other healthcare professionals. Introduce yourself to local providers, therapists, pharmacists, and specialists. Strong referrals often start with a simple coffee chat.

- Get involved in local events. Speak at your neighborhood library, join a community health fair, or host a wellness workshop. These opportunities build awareness and credibility where it counts.

- Establish your expertise in writing. Whether it’s a blog, a guest post, or even a book, get your knowledge in front of people. Publishing in academic journals or local papers helps position you as a trusted authority.

Building your brand isn’t optional; it’s what sets you apart. Follow Collaborating Docs for more insights on growing your practice.
