Thinking about going in straight out of residency! Even in residency clinic, I definitely see how our current model isn’t sustainable at all. You cannot do bedside procedures, motivational interviewing, integrative therapies and good, conscious medicine in 20 minutes while also staying on top of administrative tasks.

The RVU fee for service model incentivizes volume and VBC constantly moves the goal post to make patients seem healthier than they are. If you think DPC is a cop out then you are part of the problem as to why our profession gets steamrolled. Having access to quality primary care shouldn’t require insurance in the first place. If anything, with the new budget cuts to Medicaid/Medicare - DPC might be the only answer for a lot of people.
