4 months ago, I quit my OP PT job to go all in on founding a nonprofit. AMA.
Not here to pitch anything or sell a course. Just want to have a real conversation and maybe help someone sitting with a similar decision. And learn and reflect through answering questions!
I’m a DPT. I left a traditional outpatient job to found a community health nonprofit that operates completely outside the insurance model. It wasn’t a safe decision. It still isn’t, haven't made a single cent yet. But it felt more honest than anything I’d done clinically in a long time.
And I've learned that being honest is really important to both myself, and a whole lot of others.
Ask me anything: what's scary, what's good, the nonprofit structure, clinical philosophy, the identity crisis of not having patients on a schedule. All of it. Will try my best to respond honestly and productively without disclosing too much private info.
