Healthcare Practitioners Reveals:
And how you can provide patients with a service they need while you add an exceptional revenue stream to your existing practice - OR build a brand new business around it - before the rest of the medical community catches on...
Hi, I’m Jason Duprat MBA, MSA, APRN, and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) with over 13 years in the medical field - including 9 years in the Navy Reserves Nurse Corps.
If you’re a CRNA, Physician, or Nurse Practitioner, then there’s probably been a time in your life when you’ve wondered if all the years of study, the student loans, and the long hours were worth it.
And that’s frustrating, because you’ve spent over a decade going above and beyond just to get to this point. Getting the education. Putting in the time. Working crazy hours because there’s no other way.
Yet, According to Health eCareer's 2017 Healthcare Recruiting Trends Report, only 14% of medical professionals report being “very satisfied” with their income.
That’s why I want to share with you a discovery I made that completely transformed my medical practice and the practices of over 400 hundred of my students all across the world...
...from the exhausting daily grind to the highly profitable and deeply gratifying career I’d always imagined having.
I'm Talking About:
- Patients that come in for 6 infusions for their initial treatment, and then monthly or bi-monthly for boosters.
- Patients that happily pay cash for their infusion means you don't have to deal with (or wait for) insurance companies.
- All for a service they desperately need, want, and can’t get almost anywhere else.
How is all this possible?
I’m talking, of course, about ketamine therapy.
You’ve probably heard of them before, after all - ketamine was featured on the cover of TIME as a “surprising new drug” in the treatment of depression.
What you may not have realized is how easy and worthwhile it is to add ketamine infusions to your existing practice...or to start a whole new practice around it, like I did.
Why ketamine? Well...for one, the demand is exploding faster than ketamine clinics can keep up, with a market of 100 million people with treatment-resistant depression comprising just 1 segment of it.
Why else? How about the fact that it’s extremely affordable for clinics to administer, meaning much greater freedom in who you serve. Imagine not having to worry about razor thin profit margins and instead being able to focus on treating the affluent population in your city or putting your efforts towards providing free and reduced cost to patients who can't afford them by opening up a non-profit clinic and fundraising.
Total freedom to choose who you serve and how you do it.
Speaking of need, the great thing about ketamine is that it can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including:
- Treatment-resistant depression
- PTSD
- Bipolar
- OCD
- Anxiety
- Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain
So what does it all mean?
There are a lot more patients than current clinics can handle, which means even if you know absolutely nothing about business or marketing you can start a clinic and have patients looking for you!
How I Went From Employee to business owner
I founded my own ketamine infusion clinic while still working as a nurse anesthetist at a local hospital.
After that, my colleagues (and even people I didn't know from all over the world) began to notice the clinic's success and started asking me how I did it.
So I would get on a call with each of them, give them the rundown of how I started my clinic, the questions to ask a lawyer, what to look for in an office space, negotiating lease terms, finding equipment and supplies, basic marketing strategies, etc...
I had so many people asking and the calls took up so much of my time I couldn't do anything else. That's when I decided to record everything I knew about opening a clinic and put it in one easy to follow course.
And the Ketamine Academy was born.
Today, I’ve helped Hundreds of students all over the world open their own successful practices or add ketamine infusions to their existing practice.
Now is where you come in...
The academy gives you a specific blueprint for opening your own ketamine clinic capable of generating $1,800 to $4,200 per patient in their first month of treatment all without having to deal with insurance companies.
So whether you’re looking to get out of your day job by starting your own practice, add a new stream of income from the practice you have, or just create a side hustle, the Ketamine Academy has your roadmap.
“What does it take to add ketamine infusions to your practice...or to set up a new ketamine clinic from scratch?”
Not as much as you’d think.
It might surprise you, but here’s a few the things you DON’T need to start your own ketamine clinic:
- You DON’T need any prior business or marketing experience.
- You DON’T need to have your own practice yet.
- You DON’T need tens of thousands of dollars to start.
-
You DON'T need to be a physician to get started.
All you need to do is follow the proven steps I’ve laid out for you inside the program.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still Have Questions? Take A Look Below, Chances Are Someone Else Already Asked
Can a NP open a clinic?
Yes absolutely. NPs can open clinics in all states. Depending on the state you live in you may need to hire a physician to collaborate with.
Can RN’s open a clinic?
Yes, RNs can open a clinic, but would need to hire or partner with a provider (NP, CRNA, MD, DO).
Since CRNAs function under medical direction we need physician to practice...what physicians can we ask other than pain management physicians
In almost every state, there is no specialty requirement of the supervising physician. The nurse practice act will tell you who can supervise or collaborate. Typically they state it can be any MD, DO or even a podiatrist.
Does this help patients recover or do they have to be on ketamine forever?
Unfortunately, it is not a cure and repeated visits are required. Depending on the patient they may have to come back anywhere from every month to 6 months.
Do I have to be an anesthesiologist to open the clinic?
No you do not. Low dose ketamine is the administration of sedation and there is no requirement to be an anesthesia provider to administer low dose ketamine
Can ketamine be offered through a regular “IV Infusion Therapy “ clinic that offers Myers Cocktail our Immune Booster? What about operating under a Salon service?
Yes! Absolutely it can be administered by an infusion clinic. There are certain rules and guidelines that need to be followed. I cover that in more detail in the course. No it can not be given in a "salon."
Can a clinic be grown from strictly weekend hours. I work full time M-F.
Ideally you'd be open one day during the week, even if it's only in the evening. A New patient protocol usually consists of 6 infusions over 2 weeks which would require them to come once during the week. If you wanted you could reserve those weeknight slots only for new patients and then schedule boosters on the weekends.
What is the special pricing for business partners?
When one partner purchases the course each additional partner or staff person can have their own account created for $799. That will allow each person to have their own login, completion certificate, and get continuing education credits. If you're a large organization looking to train a whole team please reach out to support@ketamineacademy.com to discuss the possibility of a group rate.
What are the typical start up cost?
It depends. Where you live, who you want to serve, how many chairs/rooms you want to start with, what part of town you have your office in, etc are all critical factors in determining startup costs. When I opened my clinic in Albuquerque I was able to start it for a little less than $15,000. If you're a hands on person it's possible your startup costs could be similar. We do include a startup cost calculator with the Ketamine Academy so you can figure out exactly how much you need to get going.
Do you tell us what we need to buy to start up a clinic and supplies and drug?
Yes, I have downloadable lists for medical supplies and equipment in the course.
Basically after enrolling into this course I should be able to replicate your clinic from start to finish?
Pretty close. While we have done our best to make this as much of a step by step process as possible this is still a business and you'll have to make your own decisions on how you'd like to run your clinic. There are also state specific things (like regulations) that will be different depending on where in the United States (or world) you're opening your clinic.
What are you hearing in your clinic about the new ketamine nasal spray?
Great questions, I actually did a facebook live lesson on this. Here is the link if you are interested in watching. https://youtu.be/2GGijdGRzqc
In summary, esketamine has helped boost awareness of ketamine as a treatment option, it is far less effective than the racemic ketamine given IV, at this point we are not sure if insurance will reimburse or what they will pay.
Pts given nasal esketamine must still be administered the medication in a clinic setting and supervised for 2 hrs.
As long as reimbursement is reasonable, many ketamine clinics plan to offer this as an option to patients who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford the better IV option. Overall I think it is good for ketamine clinics.
So look...right now you really have two choices...
You can keep doing what you’re doing. Working hard, long days. Getting paid less than you know your expertise is worth.
Or you can take the plunge into the lucrative world of ketamine infusions and transform your life the way hundreds have before you.
The shift is happening either way. This trend will continue to grow no matter what you do.
That’s why I hope you’ll choose to join us inside the Ketamine Academy. After all, it’s completely risk free for you...and it might very well change your career and your life.
So click the button to join now, and I’ll see you on the inside.
Just think…
If ALL this course did was bring you 1 ketamine infusion patient per MONTH, would it be worth it?
If ALL this course did was decrease your reliance on your day job, would it be worth it?
If ALL this course did was help you normalize your work schedule so you had more time for living, would it be worth it?
If ALL this course did was increase the revenue you made from your existing patients, would it be worth it?
If so, then you owe it to yourself to give the academy a shot.
The only thing you risk is wondering “why didn’t I do this sooner?”
