Before you join

Who is this course for?
Nurse practitioners and APRNs considering an obesity-management service, practice owners weighing a weight-management service line, and healthcare entrepreneurs researching a clinician-led weight-management business.
How do I start an obesity clinic as an NP?
Start with clinical readiness, service design, practice authority, supervision or collaboration where required, policies, operations, business planning, and state compliance. The course walks through each area. Always verify final decisions with qualified advisors in your state.
Is it for in-person, telehealth, or both?
Both are discussed. The right model depends on your role, your state’s rules, your patients, and your technology.
Do I need prior obesity-medicine certification?
No. Please note that completing the course does not grant certification, prescribing authority, privileges, or licensure.
Does it include protocols or medication sourcing?
No. The compounding bonus covers quality, safety, documentation and compliance awareness. It is not a sourcing list, a prescribing protocol, or a substitute for pharmacy or regulatory guidance.
Is this legal, regulatory or financial advice?
No. The course is educational. Confirm decisions about your practice with a qualified attorney, accountant, or regulatory advisor in your state.
Can I get one-on-one help?
Dr. Buchi offers private strategy sessions for practice setup and scaling. Get in touch to ask about availability.
