private practice
Self-employed doctor's business
Private practice is professional work conducted independently rather than as an employee of an institution.
Doctors, lawyers, therapists, and accountants may leave firms or hospitals to start their own practices: She left the hospital to go into private practice.
The term implies direct relationships with clients and control over one's professional life, often with greater financial risk and reward.
