The Business of Medicine: Unpacking the Pros & Cons of Private Practice and DPC

Family medicine offers physicians the flexibility to shape their careers in ways that align with their personal values, professional passions, and patient care philosophies. This panel discussion brings together three Oklahoma-based family physicians—each practicing in a distinct model: traditional private practice, direct primary care, and hybrid models with teaching and procedural care. Attendees will gain insight into the realities, rewards, and roadblocks of each path, and leave with practical ideas for shaping their own careers in family medicine.
