Take Back Control With A Direct Primary Care Practice

While many physicians are looking to make the leap to a nonclinical career, others want to continue practicing, but do it on their own terms. A popular option for those in the latter group is direct primary care, or DPC. Today, I’m excited to have not one, but two, direct primary care and lifestyle medicine physicians as my guests, Drs. Monica and Prisiliano Salas. They’ll discuss what DPC is, the financial aspects of this practice model, how they incorporated lifestyle medicine into their practice, and steps you can take to pursue DPC for yourself.
