Why Join BRI?

The patient-doctor relationship thrives in an environment that promotes free enterprise, where doctors and healthcare professionals are free to innovate, create and compete. A truly free system fosters the highest quality healthcare options for the most people at the lowest possible costs. BRI student and healthcare leaders are ambassadors, advocates, and educators in their communities. With support from BRI’s national office, chapter members can organize a variety of educational events that promote principles of quality patient-care and innovation, which will ultimately preserve the medical profession’s integrity and improve the American healthcare system. BRI student and healthcare leaders work with their chapter members to determine the events that they will host throughout the academic year.

WHAT MEMBERS SAY ABOUT BRI

Most of the DPC docs had worked for a big hospital before they went into primary care. Their stories about the suffering, hopelessness, and burnout at big hospitals and clinics led them to open DPC practices.

After being accepted to present a research paper at [the 2022 Orthopedic Society Annual Meeting], BRI was able to fund a trip for myself to San Antonio to present and network at the [meeting]. This was truly an incredible experience!

I was extremely unaware of the state of our healthcare system before attending this conference. Under the current model, patients are not receiving the care they need because their doctor is not able to spend the time they deserve with them. I am so grateful to have been exposed to these issues and learn about Doctors Primary Care, which is a solution that I can see myself implementing in my practice as a future primary care doctor. BRI was instrumental in my networking experience at this conference. The doctors presenting at the conference all had so much respect for BRI, so just being with them helped open the door to a lot of networking opportunities. My personal and professional goals have definitely changed.
