I took 2 small biz courses. One was called "Start With Build" via the Build Institute out of Detroit. The second was called "Retail Boot Camp" out of TechTown Detroit. Hope that helps!
Thank you for the video! Obviously a few years old but definitely helps build the confidence for me and my wife to go into DPS sooner rather than later after she finishes her residency in under 2 years for Family Medicine! With my engineering salary able to keep us afloat, I feel like the lead time gives us plenty of time to build the brand and save up money as a buffer for the inital capex costs. GO DPC!

Great question! Not that I'm aware of. I know some people go into a 3 year program and leave after 1 year. But, that's not advisable because you need to be board certified to bill insurance. However, if you know that you want to do DPC, then that billing insurance piece is not as big of an issue. Yet, you and your patients will be better served when you're fully board certified. You'll have more experience and will therefore be able to serve a greater number of patients with a broader range of concerns.
I've been researching one year transitional residency programs. They have 151 of them in the U.S. that grads typically use to get into advanced residencies. Will this suffice for the 1 year post grad training for licensure? Thanks again.
@SHIVANI PATEL The only practical downside of not completing residency is not being able to bill insurance; which is probably a lot less stressful and less time consuming as well.
@SHIVANI PATEL Thanks for the link! I was thinking the same thing. I would only hope that those who were already licensed would be "grandfathered" in. However, I'm sure many residency programs would allow starting at PGY2 in their programs if laws did change.
I am a new FNP considering opening a convenience clinic only offering certain services (similar to a Minute Clinic). Could the business plan/course you have be tailored to that type of practice.
Well, we have a lot more information on our website at www.StartUpDPC.com - you should find a lot of great information on how to start and grow a Direct Primary Care practice!
If only we could get low cost medical school aimed at getting doctors licensed for direct primary care.

As an FNP Oregon, do you have any advice to beginning a primary care practice? Independent state for APRNs. Thanks...
Thank you for this video! Do you think IM physicians can open a dpc clinic?
Closest DPC for me in Central Valley, California is about 2 hours away...hope DPC catches on.
Yes me too!

Are there programs for one year internships without it being part of a residency?

@@PlumHealthDPC I see a lot of benefits in DPC and weighing my options. However, I know residency can be brutal. Thanks for your reply.

But how much do patients pay for medicines?

Very interesting! As a family nurse practitioner, I am starting to explore this model. Keep up the informative videos.
