Thoughts from DPC Summit 2026
We just returned from the DPC Summit. This event was in New Orleans. More than 500 doctors gathered to network and learn. Our goal was to support one another as we build and grow our little practices.
I had three big takeaways from the Summit this year.
Direct Primary Care vs. Concierge Doctor
It’s hard find a doctor and nearly impossible to get in to see them when you need them. These are common issues with insurance-only doctors’ offices. There are two kinds of practice models that you’ll see mentioned when you’re researching alternative options practices: “concierge medicine” and “DPC,” or Direct Primary Care.
