What’s Next Course
You Made It Through Year One. Now What?
A video course on career growth, financial literacy, private practice, telehealth, professional reputation, and the long game of sustaining a career in psychiatric practice — built by a practicing PMHNP for providers ready to move from surviving to building something intentional.
Per Year
The Foundation Course gets you through your first year. Nobody tells you what comes after, how to actually read your compensation package, whether private practice is a fantasy or a real option for you, how telehealth work is reshaping the field, or how to build a reputation and an income that don’t depend entirely on one employer. This course is for what comes next: when survival mode shifts into growth mode and you start asking bigger questions about your career, your money, and your life in this field.
3-Year Career Vision Template — Yours With Module 1
The exact worksheet used in Module 1 to build a concrete, written three-year career vision — where you want to be practicing, in what setting, earning what — is included as an editable download from your first week in the course.
Seven modules. Twenty-eight lessons. Everything after year one.

Providers Wanting Income Beyond Salary
I’m Dr. Priscilla Garrett, DNP, PMHNP-BC.
Every other course I’ve built gets a provider through the beginning — boards, licensure, that first hard year. This one is for after. Once the clinical footing is steady, the questions get bigger: what you’re actually worth, whether private practice makes sense for your life, how to build a reputation that outlasts any one job. Nobody hands you that roadmap either, so I built it — the practical, unglamorous version, not the inspirational one.
How to Use This Course
This course is professional education, not financial, legal, or clinical advice.
- Consult a licensed financial advisor before making personal financial planning decisions — the compensation and money module teaches concepts, not individualized financial advice.
- Have any contract, lease, or business formation document reviewed by a licensed attorney in your state before you sign — this course teaches you what to look for, not a substitute for legal review.
- Use this course alongside — never instead of — your own judgment, your state’s practice and business regulations, and your licensing board’s current requirements.
This course does not constitute financial advice, legal advice, or clinical supervision, and does not guarantee any income, business, or career outcome. You remain fully responsible for your own decisions.
