In this episode I'm talking about what direct primary care (DPC) is and isn't, including many of the popular misconceptions both physicians and patients have about. The episode includes

- how DPC is different from concierge medicine
- actual data on the outcomes, costs and benefits for patients & doctors
- the NUMBERS (average monthly fee, average panels sizes, time to fill a practice)
- a discussion on the ethics of DPC in a time of PCP shortages
