Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have unlimited access to this course?
Absolutely! You can access this course however many times you want for however long you want. All Elite Nurse Practitioner Courses are pre-recorded and accessible indefinitely.
Do I need a specialized certification for medical weight loss?
No. There is no certification or license required outside of your nursing licensure. If it is within your scope of practice to manage patients’ chronic conditions, then you can integrate medical weight loss therapies into your practice.
Will this course teach me how to build a weight loss clinic from scratch?
Yes! The course goes over every aspect of starting a medical weight loss practice. We cover everything, from clinical logistics to the formation of an LLC. All consent forms, privacy policies, and documentation are included.
Is this an expensive practice to start?
Not at all. Medical weight loss clinics are very inexpensive to start and require very little in terms of supplies and equipment. An NP can easily start a weight loss practice for around $5,000 to $7,500.
Will this course go over how to market a weight loss clinic?
Absolutely. You must get the word out about your clinic if you want to get busy! Word of mouth is fine, but it takes a long time for that to happen. You must market your practice if you want to grow and make money quickly. We will cover the basics of marketing.
I already own a practice. Can I add this as a service?
Yes. If you work for a primary care practice or own your own practice, such as a wellness or weight loss clinic, then implementing these clinical topics could significantly increase your patient volume and revenue.
Is having a DEA number necessary?
If you will be prescribing phentermine or Vyvanse, then yes, you will need a DEA number. While it is not absolutely required for every NP to obtain a DEA number, Elite NP highly suggests holding one.
Are these therapies FDA approved?
Many of the medications covered are FDA approved for weight loss, such as phentermine and bupropion/naltrexone, while others are considered "off label" use.
Will this offer CME?
This course offers 8 CE hours. The Elite Nurse Practitioner is credentialed as a CEU provider through the ANCC. CEU awarded through The Elite Nurse Practitioner applies to ANCC, AANP, and all boards of nursing.
Will this course provide a certificate of completion?
A certificate is issued at the end of the course that will show the CEU hours and verification of course completion. You can also use this to submit for reimbursement and provide to your malpractice carrier.

Christy W: I recently took the weight loss course and absolutely loved it! Very informative with meds, consents, labs ect. Also, the the general support of the elite NP team is amazing, I’ve had to directly message with some questions and the response and expertise is very much appreciated!
Taniqua A: The Elite Np is the truth! His weight loss course is worth every penny! I love that there were forms to use for my business, because I wouldn't have known where to begin. I love his drive and passion to help other NPs. His passion is reflected in his courses, podcasts, and the way he responds quickly to emails.
Lindsey C: The Elite NP is an amazing program for nurse practitioners like myself who are ready to become entrepreneurs and branch out of corporate healthcare. Justin is always responsive, usually same day. He provides so much great content in his courses and truly cares about other NP's and their success. His courses are affordable and contain great education. I have learned a ton with the men's health courses, weight loss course, and telehealth course. Without his program and courses, I would not feel prepared enough to do this. He also gives me the encouragement I need to keep going when it gets hard. Between his courses, facebook group, and podcasts, there is a wealth of information. I'm so glad I found The Elite NP.

Hi, I'm Justin Allan MSN FNP
I am the owner and author of The Elite Nurse Practitioner, one of the hottest blogs for nurse practitioners who want to break free from the shackles of modern healthcare.
I have been practicing as an NP for 7 years. I have worked all over the country and in many different settings. I became sick of working for others and not earning what I knew what was possible and fair. So I decided to venture out on my own.
I now own multiple successful side practices and businesses as an NP. My goal is to share the knowledge I have learned and developed to my fellow NP colleagues so you can reach a level of success that very few NPs will ever achieve. It is possible to build profitable practices and businesses as a nurse practitioner!
