Getting Started: Key Considerations for Starting a Private Practice
This on-demand 10-credit CE series is designed to empower practitioners at every career stage and enable you to implement successful strategies for starting, enhancing, operating, supervising, and closing a private practice (group or solo).

The bundle cost for all 10 sessions is $250 (APA members) and $300 (nonmembers). Individual sessions can be purchased for $35 (APA members) and $40 (nonmembers).
This series has been reviewed and approved by the APA Office of Continuing Education in Psychology to offer CE credits for psychologists. The APA CEP Office maintains responsibility for this program and its content.

FAQs
Can I still join even though the Academy started?
Yes, you can join through the air date of the third class, March 13, 2019. After that date, you will only be able to purchase courses individually and not get to participate in a learning community. We ask that if you are joining late, you prioritize watching the recordings for sessions you have missed and catch up on the introductions, assignments, and conversations in your learning community.
How do I know if this progr am is right for me?
2019 is our first year running the Academy, but across our organizer and faculty rosters, we possess a few hundred years of offering leadership training in rich and supportive environments. This Academy was engineered with the goal of having a broad-reaching leadership program for all. At the same time, we imagine that our modal member will be someone who is “emerging” in their leadership trajectory, regardless of when that person finished graduate training in psychology or a related field. We also imagine that person is looking to advance their leadership position(s) within a year of enrolling. We have identified a number of skills and knowledge areas that will get explored in the Academy. We ask participants to rate themselves in these during the registration process, and then ask again at the conclusion of the Academy. Our hope is that graduates will see in themselves more confidence and competence in many of these areas.
How much of a time commitment is the Academy?
Every other week beginning mid-February, you will spend an hour watching the live or recorded session. You are also expected to spend anywhere from an hour to work or more in the two weeks between sessions working on activities and holding discussions with your peers in a virtual learning community.
How long is each session?
Each interactive webinar is one-hour long.
Will I be assigned homework?
You will leave each session with a ‘homework assignment,’ typically a problem to solve and discuss in a designated ‘learning community’ through vignettes, case studies, worksheets, or other exercises.
Will I receive recognition when I complete the Emerging Leaders in Psychology Academy?
Upon successful completion of the Academy, you’ll receive a certificate of achievement and will be part of a growing network of emerging leaders that you can continue to lean on and learn from as you advance your career.
How long does the program take to complete?
The Academy consists of 10 high-energy, interactive webinars over the course of 6 months.
How much does the program cost?
The Emerging Leaders in Psychology Academy costs $99 for APA members ($199 for nonmembers). Similar leadership programs typically cost $3000.
What if I miss a live session?
Five to seven days after the live recording, you will be able to access and watch a recording of the course. Course slides and any handouts will be available immediately after the webinar in everyone’s learning community. You will have access to all course recordings for about one year.
How do I earn CE credits?
This program has been reviewed and approved by the American Psychological Association Office Continuing Education in Psychology (CEP) to offer up to 10 Continuing Education (CE) credits for psychologists. Full attendance is required during each live webinar or recorded video-on-demand to earn 1.0 CE credit for that particular session. Credit for partially attended or watched sessions will not be awarded. The CEP Office maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
What technology do I need?
You will need high-speed internet on any device you prefer to use to watch the sessions in our BeaconLive course management portal. You will find that the portal works best in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox browsers. BeaconLive will provide you information about technical support issues in your payment confirmation email. Additionally, around the start of the first session, we will invite you to create a Slack account to participate in learning communities. Slack can be accessed on the web or through an app on your wireless device.
What is a learning community?
After you register, we will assign you to a group with 6-8 individuals based on your career stage and leadership interests. These groups will have their own space online to chat, share ideas, exchange documents, and work on the assignment provided by each Academy faculty at the conclusion of their session. APA staff will offer support to these communities as needed.
What options exist if I have a financial hardship?
We believe in making this opportunity available to as many individuals as possible. Thus, we are happy to provide a limited number of half-priced registrations for APA members who reach out, until we run out. Before beginning the registration process, please email Zeljka with a brief explanation of your membership status in APA, your career stage, your highest degree and year of graduation, and your expressed financial need. Include 'Academy Scholarship' in the subject line.
For all other questions and comments, please contact the course coordinator, Peggy Mihelich, at pmihelich@apa.org
