Dr. David Townsend shares his journey from a traditional internal medicine practice to Direct Primary Care four years ago, explaining how corporate buyouts and productivity pressures drove him to make the change. After experiencing multiple ownership transitions from independent practice to hospital employment to corporate acquisition, he and his partner decided to leave stable salaries and start their own DPC practice.

Dr. Townsend describes the dramatic difference between seeing 25 patients daily in his previous role versus 8-10 patients now, with panel sizes dropping from 2,500 to 500 patients each. He covers practical startup details, including working with Atlas MD for business guidance, navigating non-compete clauses, purchasing their own building, and reaching full capacity in just five months despite typically requiring 2-3 years for new DPC practices.

In this solo episode, I warn residents, fellows, and early career physicians about career-destroying landmines that could derail their medical careers. Drawing from real case studies and firsthand accounts, I explain how seemingly routine situations can escalate into devastating professional disasters that force physicians out of practice entirely.

I cover critical topics including the National Practitioner Data Bank, sham peer review processes, restrictive employment contracts, and FPPE/OPPE evaluations. I share stories of physicians who lost hospital privileges overnight, were blocked from practicing due to non-compete clauses, and faced career-ending allegations with inadequate due process protection.

I emphasize the importance of understanding medical staff bylaws, hiring experienced healthcare attorneys for contract review, and taking any workplace allegations seriously from day one. I provide practical advice on protecting yourself during peer review processes and recognizing when standard procedures are being weaponized against you.

After 32 years in internal medicine practice, Dr. Anne Hirsch made a purposeful transition from clinical care to physician coaching, discovering new ways to help healthcare professionals thrive. Rather than leaving medicine due to burnout, she chose to step away at the peak of her career to pursue a different kind of healing, helping physicians overcome the struggles that threaten their professional satisfaction and personal well-being.

Dr. Hirsch brings unique insights from her dual role as a practicing internist and chair of her hospital's peer review committee, where she witnessed firsthand how communication breakdowns and behavioral issues can derail medical careers. Now certified as a physician coach, she specializes in helping doctors navigate burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the communication challenges that often lead to peer review situations.

Dr. Hirsch shares practical strategies for achieving work-life harmony, the critical importance of communication skills in preventing patient safety issues, and how physicians can rediscover meaning in their careers. She also discusses her additional role as medical director for "Healthy Practices," showing how retired physicians can leverage their expertise in new ways while maintaining professional fulfillment.

Dr. Paul Thomas shares his journey from residency directly into Direct Primary Care, demonstrating how physicians can build fulfilling practices without insurance bureaucracy. As the author of two DPC books and founder of Plum Health, which has grown from house calls to five clinic locations, Dr. Thomas offers practical insights into creating a sustainable alternative to traditional medicine.

In this episode, Dr. Thomas explains how DPC works: monthly memberships, unlimited access to physicians, and dramatic savings on labs, medications, and imaging. He discusses his expansion from a solo practice to serving employer groups and school districts, saving one consortium $1.2 million while improving patient satisfaction scores.

Dr. Thomas covers the business fundamentals of DPC, including patient panel sizes (typically 400-500 patients per physician), partnership structures, and growth strategies. His story demonstrates how physicians can escape the assembly-line medicine model while building profitable practices that prioritize patient relationships and clinical excellence over volume-driven care.

Dr. Jarret Patton shares his incredible journey from the peak of his medical career to devastating job loss and ultimate transformation into a successful coach and author. As president of the medical staff at an eight-hospital system, Dr. Patton seemed to have reached the pinnacle of physician leadership when a false accusation turned his world upside down.

In this classic episode from 2019, Dr. Patton describes how he lost his medical license, job, and reputation overnight due to an unfounded criminal allegation. After nearly two years of legal battles and eventual exoneration, he chose not to return to clinical practice but instead channeled his experience into helping other physicians navigate similar crises.

Dr. Patton discusses the harsh realities of administrative law for physicians, where guilt is presumed until innocence is proven, and how proper support systems are crucial for survival. His story demonstrates how devastating career setbacks can become opportunities for reinvention and meaningful work, helping others through their darkest professional moments.

Her new book, "The Power to Pivot: A Physician's Journey to Career Fulfillment," serves as both a memoir and a practical guide for physicians seeking greater professional satisfaction.

In this continuation with Dr. Alex Schloe, John explores the next steps for physicians ready to act on the potential of residential assisted living. Building on the Episode 412 discussion of why this model works, they now focus on how to structure investments, minimize risk, and find trustworthy partners to manage day-to-day operations.

Dr. Schloe explains how physicians can stay passive by separating ownership from operations, using legal tools like LLCs and insurance to protect their assets. He also shares how his company, OpenRange Capital, helps physicians invest in these developments without being hands-on.

They wrap up with a look inside The RAL Room, a training and support community designed to help new investors build confidence, competence, and connections in this space.

In this week’s episode, Dr. Alex Schloe, a family medicine physician transitioning out of the U.S. Air Force, shares how he’s building wealth through residential assisted living, an emerging real estate model well-suited for physicians looking to diversify their income.

Dr. Schloe’s journey began during residency, when he purchased his first investment property with a physician loan and just $58 out of pocket. That early experience showed how house hacking and strategic real estate investing can be accessible even during medical training.

He explains how residential assisted living differs from traditional large-scale facilities, offering personalized care in smaller, home-like settings with far better caregiver-to-resident ratios. These homes not only improve care quality and outcomes, but they also cost less than institutional care.

We also explore the strong investment potential behind this model, from the massive care gap created by the aging baby boomer population to the various ownership options physicians can pursue, whether running their facility or investing passively. With their medical background and income potential, physicians are uniquely positioned to identify quality care and participate in a real estate opportunity that’s both profitable and socially meaningful.

Dr. Debra Blaine is back on the podcast to talk about how she’s helping clients overcome self-doubt, perfectionism, and burnout using a mindset approach called Positive Intelligence. After 33 years in medicine, she shifted into coaching and writing, publishing ten books across genres from medical thrillers to cat care, including her recent bestseller Whiskers in the Wild, which she wrote and published in just three months.

She explains how Positive Intelligence, developed by Shirzad Chamine, helps people recognize and quiet the mental saboteurs that hold them back, while building up strengths like creativity, empathy, and focus. Whether it’s physicians thinking about a career change or writers struggling to finish a book, Dr. Blaine shares how a few minutes a day of mental fitness can lead to big, lasting change.

Jordan Romano shares how he built a successful expert witness consulting career alongside his work as an internal medicine hospitalist at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital. What began with a colleague’s request turned into a decade-long path that now allows him to apply his clinical expertise in legal settings while maintaining a full-time medical role. He explains how to get started in the field, including building connections, meeting qualification standards, and understanding that most cases are resolved before trial, making this a realistic way to expand both income and career opportunities.
