Get paid to network/market
Yes.
Get paid.
That is no typo.
This isn't some sign you see near the edge of the road on a Saturday morning that promises you big riches if you simply call that number. This is a straight forward marketing/networking concept that is tried and proven.
It is remarkably simple: become a college professor. Preferably in a college that caters to working adults. There are nothing but benefits here!!
Benefit #1: Your students all have jobs to help pay for their college... in other words they are all potential clients!
Benefit #2: You will have the ability to network with other professionals that teach there.
Benefit #3: You will get to know and build a reputation with the staff as well.
Benefit #4: Typically classes are in the evening so they shouldn't interfere with your practice.
Benefit #5: You will get paid for your time!
Here's the skinny on the situation.
As a doctor, you are qualified to teach in an upper education situation provided that you have certain minimal levels in the areas that you want to teach. Potential subjects do not have to be related to health. They can be in other subjects that you have had in your college experience.
Look on the websites of colleges that are near your location. Look at the HR page and determine if any of their openings may match your qualifications. Have a resume and your transcripts at hand. Make contact with the hiring manager, send in your info and wait.
Colleges will not necassarily hire you, but they have an incentive to do so. Part of their reputation and accredidation are based on their staff. It makes them look good to have more terminal degrees, or doctors, working for them.
One caveat.
Do not teach simply to market. There are some obvious conflicts of interest there as well as a few other ethical blunders. Look for something you enjoy teaching because your students will respond to you positively. This is where the true benefit will come.
Represent yourself well, and it will come back to you.
Good luck! Let's talk some more a bit later. Please comment on this blog if you would like more detailed action steps.
By the way... I've done this.
I have been teaching for 4 years. Not only has it been a wonderfully gratifying experience, it has been a phenomenal boost to my practice.
Add this blog to 
I think this is a great idea and have thought about doing this as I prepare to grow my practice both as a means of supplemental income and to stay current on neuromusculoskeletal information that can pile up and be forgotten so quickly. I would love some detailed action steps to help me out with this.

Glad to see your interest. Here are a few steps:
Step 1: Survey the colleges in your area. Look at their website, specifically their HR portion. Look for them to be hiring adjunct faculty.
Step 2: Review their programs to look for classes that you may be qualified for. It may vary depending on area, but here it is 6 credit hours or 3 years of experience.
Step 3: See if they are hiring for classes that you are qualified for. Contact whoever does the hiring, send in your resume and transcripts, and wait.
Step 4: The rest is up to you!

This is a bit confusing. I've taught at colleges, including chiropractic ones, and for the most part they requires greater than a bachelors degree. Even community colleges mostly require a masters to teach even basic courses. And when it comes to state universities, it's all but requires to have a masters or better. Unless you plan on being a T.A. Maybe it's just California?

To be qualified to teach at all you need to have a Master's or a Doctorate in the college level. However, even if your level of expertise is in health care, if you have had experience as I mentioned earlier, you can teach in other areas through your degrees.
For example, I have a degree in Zoology and Chiropractic. My classes include Critical Thinking, Organizational Management, Ethics for Business Leaders, Environmental Science, and Health/Wellness for Managers. The first four I was able to teach due to what I had mentioned earlier.Good catch though.

I second this thought. After starting my practice I began to teach nights and weekends. Not only did it help guarantee income, but I met other professionals, adult students, and increased my knowledge by reviewing subjects I had taken previously. Truly is a win-win situation.
