Cohort-Foundation for Independent Providers
You spent years becoming a clinician.
Now become the founder your practice needs.
The Founding Fifteen™ is an exclusive implementation experience designed for BCBAs, pediatric practice leaders, family medicine physicians, and behavioral health professionals ready to build an independent practice with confidence and clarity.
Independent practices aren’t built by chance. They’re built by design.
Is this you?
You’re ready to own your practice, not just work in one.
You know clinical excellence isn’t enough to build a successful business.
You’re tired of piecing together advice from Google, Facebook groups, and trial and error.
You’re looking for a proven path built by someone who’s already helped providers navigate the operational side of healthcare.
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
What you’ll leave with.
Not another notebook.
Not another certification.
Not another folder full of templates you’ll never use.
You’ll leave with the operational foundation behind an independent healthcare practice.
- A personalized roadmap for your next stage of practice development
- A business built on systems instead of guesswork
- The confidence to make decisions like an owner
- A business foundation that supports the level of care you want to provide
- Fluency in the compliance and operational decisions that protect what you’ve built
- A network of founders building alongside you
Every decision inside this cohort is designed around one objective:Helping you build a practice you can confidently lead.
Why only fifteen founders?
This isn’t designed to be watched. It’s designed to be built.
Every founder receives direct guidance throughout the experience, which means enrollment is intentionally limited.
We’d rather transform fifteen practices than simply sell hundreds of seats. That’s why applications are selective.
Why now?
Healthcare is changing. Payer requirements evolve. Compliance expectations continue to grow. Operational complexity isn’t decreasing.
The decisions you make before opening your doors are often the ones that shape everything that follows.
There will always be another reason to wait. There won’t always be another opportunity to be part of the Founding Fifteen™.

- Founder, Medical Elite Network
- Author, Foundations of Independence™
- Healthcare Operations & Revenue Strategy
Briouna Richards has spent her career working behind the scenes, helping healthcare providers navigate the business of medicine: credentialing, compliance, revenue, and everything else clinical training never covers.
After watching too many exceptional clinicians delay or abandon practice ownership because no one taught them the business side of healthcare, she decided to build the program she wishes had existed from the beginning, starting with the book, Foundations of Independence™, and now the Founding Fifteen™.
Not to teach theory. To help clinicians build practices that last.
Built on the operational experience of Medical Elite Network, supporting providers through credentialing, compliance, revenue cycle operations, and practice growth.
Imagine opening your practice knowing the systems behind it were built with intention, not guesswork.
That’s the standard we’re building toward.
The next chapter starts here.
Five years from now, your practice will reflect the decisions you make today.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to build something that’s yours…
This is your invitation to begin.
