Hey Medicine Maven! I'm so glad you were here today! Part of the difficulty in understanding how to get funding is the work it takes learning what kind of funding is available out there. It’s taken me YEARS to complete a lot of research, knowledge, conversations, interviews, and applications to get a comprehensive understanding of funding. And, as a busy physician, mom, wife, and likely so much more I know you just don’t have that type of time. Funding isn’t black or white. It’s a complex structure of funding options, offers, engagement, and trade of future income and current equity that can be mind-boggling to traverse. While a colleague of yours may apply for and receive one type of funding, it’s important for you to analyze your business from an intense lens to understand which type of funding available is right for you, right for your practice and will allow you to build, grow, and thrive at the highest level of success.In today’s episode of the Funding Your Health Practice podcast I walk you through some of this education. That’s right! I’m helping you take the first step into the deep dive that is funding for women physicians or health workers of color looking to build a social-focused, community-responsive, or mission-driven practice.What You’ll Learn From This Episode:The solo methods of getting funding for your health practiceThe A,B,C,D,E method of considering what type of solo funding is available to and right for you and your practiceThe difference in acquisition, requirements, pay back structure, et al. between the types of solo funding available The pros and cons of solo funding available to you and your practice…and much more!Get a pen and a pad of paper (or, you know, open up a note taking application or software) and get ready.

We believe that you can change the world, and we know that you have what it takes to make your dreams come true.But here's the thing: if you don't have a funding strategy, your success is going to be sabotaged from the start.

In this episode of the Melanin & Medicine Podcast, Dr. Omolara is going to support you in getting endless funding from partnership opportunities, so that you could focus on doing what you do best: provide much-needed healthcare to underserved communities that need it most.  What You’ll Learn From This Episode:How your intrapreneurial strategies have already prepared you for entrepreneurial partnership opportunitiesThe difference between the types funding available to you and what each can do for your growing healthcare practiceWhy partnerships and collaboration are important to get where you want your practice to goDr. Omolara’s own personal story and how she raised nearly $1mil in funding to build a social justice healthcare practice in the community she cares deeply about is dedicated to providing careFind the show notes at:Read the transcript for this episode at: Send Dr. Omolara a voice message at the link below, whether you have a question about funding a mission-driven health practice or a response to this episode.
