Direct Primary Care (DPC) is revolutionizing primary care by restoring patient-centered medicine while eliminating administrative burdens. PAs were originally established to address physician shortages, and today, we can continue to lead in bridging the care gap throughout our country. This session will explore the foundations of DPC, the practical steps to start a practice, and the impact PAs can have in reshaping healthcare accessibility. Attendees will leave empowered with the knowledge and confidence to explore DPC as a viable, rewarding career path.
