Readiness Reflection
A short guided conversation to help you determine whether Direct Primary Care fits your life, risk tolerance, and career stage.
Are you thinking about opening a Direct Primary Care practice…and are you ready
to take the leap?
Most physicians don’t struggle to learn how to open a DPC. They struggle to decide
whether they should really change their career and when is the right time.
This short guided reflection helps you work though that.
What is the DPC Readiness Reflection?
You’ve probably read articles, listened to podcasts, and watched other doctors open practices.
If you’re thinking about leaving traditional practice, you’re probably feeling two things at the same time:
Relief at the idea of practicing differently
and
Fear of making the wrong decision.
This reflection won’t tell you what you “should” do.
It helps you see your situation more clearly.
The Readiness Reflection isn’t a course and not a personality quiz.
It’s a short guided conversation that helps you clarify:
your motivations
your ideal patients
your future work-life structure
what is genuinely holding you back
It usually takes about 10 minutes.
To be clear, this does NOT teach you how to start a DPC.
You’ll get the “why” you would do this out of your
head and into real words, in print,in front of you.
You may realize that you're much closer to taking action than you thought.
What is the DPC Readiness Reflection?
You’ve probably read articles, listened to podcasts, and watched other doctors open practices.
But information doesn’t answer the questions only you can answer:
Why am I actually considering leaving?
What kind of practice do I really want?
Is my hesitation practical… or fear?
Am I months away from acting or years?
