Independent Consultant Excellence Program (ICEP)
ICEP
A 6-Week Career Transition Experience for Healthcare & EMR Professionals Ready to Become Independent Contractors
You already have the experience
ICEP helps you use it independently.
If you’re a healthcare or EMR professional who has considered independent consulting — but isn’t sure how to make the transition confidently — the Independent Consultant Excellence Program (ICEP) was created for you.
This is not a technical EMR course.
This is not a hustle-based “quit your job tomorrow” program.
ICEP is a guided, small-cohort experience designed to help you shift your professional identity, clarify your consulting path, and prepare for independent contracting with confidence and integrity.
Who ICEP Is For
ICEP is designed for professionals who:
- Work in healthcare, healthcare IT, EMR, training, analytics, or operations
- Are currently employed but considering independent consulting
- IT Professionals who desire to expand their experience
- Have strong experience but want clarity before making a move
- Want to be prepared — not reactive — when opportunities arise
- Value professionalism, sustainability, and long-term growth
You do not need to be an expert in every system.
You do need the readiness to think and move differently.
What Makes ICEP Different
ICEP focuses on career transition readiness, not just skills.
Instead of asking you to start over, ICEP helps you:
- Recognize the value of what you already know
- Understand where you fit in the consulting landscape
- Build confidence in how you show up and communicate
- Navigate contracts, compensation, and expectations
- Prepare financially and professionally for independence
This program meets you before the leap — so when you move, you move with clarity.
