SUMMARY:Direct Primary Care CONFERENCE 2018*
DESCRIPTION:This conference trains physicians to start or expand a direct primary care practice (DPC) that is based on the private patient to doctor relationship. Through recurring payments (monthly\, quarterly\, or annually)\, patients “contract” directly with their doctor for care for a low fixed fee. \nBy unshackling physicians from paperwork\, bureaucracy\, and reimbursements\, DPC cuts out the middleman to free the doctor’s clinical judgment and create pricing all can afford.\nDPC: A Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice ends the obligation to third party payers and the endless fights with forms\, regulated cook book care\, and seeking reimbursements.\nIn a DPC practice\, you are opting out of the insurance and government systems and you will join the rising tide of thousands of doctors resurrecting their calling to care.\nThese doctors are embracing a practice model that ends the endless data entry and gives you the time to know your patients\, listen\, reflect\, and deliver quality care – all within a business model that generates revenue commensurate with the years you invested in your training to become a physician. \nThis conference is provided by Docs4Patient Care Foundation.

SUMMARY:Mises Institute’s Libertarian Scholars Conference
DESCRIPTION:BRI is offering medical students to apply HERE for one of five scholarships by September 27\, 2018. \nThe Libertarian Scholars Conference was originally conceived as a forum for scholars from different disciplines to meet and exchange ideas on the study of liberty. The ultimate goal was to integrate their diverse insights and approaches into a broad interdisciplinary perspective on liberty\, what Murray Rothbard called “the discipline of liberty.” The founders of the conference hoped that this discipline or systematic body of knowledge would give shape and direction to the growing ideological movement of modern libertarianism\, much as British classical and French liberal political economy had guided the movement of classical (laissez-faire) liberalism. This series of conferences succeeded admirably in stimulating scholarly research from a libertarian perspective and attracting many new scholars\, young and old\, to the scientific study of liberty. \nThe libertarian movement has grown tremendously since the early 1980s and so has the need for intellectual guidance from experts in the social sciences and humanities\, whose several disciplines help elucidate the nature of human liberty and its importance in nurturing and sustaining the social order that permits human civilization to flourish. \nWith this in mind\, the Mises Institute\, as heir to the Center for Libertarian Studies\, is reviving the Libertarian Scholars Conference\, which will take place on Saturday\, October 20\, 2018\, in New York City\, the site of the first conference.

SUMMARY:Penn State College of Medicine—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care as a Solution for Health Care Reform?
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this event. Dr. Josh Umbehr will speak about his experience starting his own Direct Pay Primary Care practice and how he sees this model as a possible solution to healthcare reform. Penn State faculty are underwriting refreshments for this event. \nAffectionately known as “Dr. Josh” by medical students who know him\, Dr. Umbehr has been a frequent speaker at BRI events\, and at a past leadership conference. He was also featured on BRI’s Next Generation Medicine podcast Episode #3.\nYou can learn more about Dr. Josh and AtlasMD on the AtlasMD website. \nI was born and raised in Alma\, Kansas where I met my high school sweetheart\, Lisa\, while playing football at Manhattan High School and followed her to Kansas State University. While there\, I majored in human nutritional sciences with a minor in biology. I also did extensive research on the effects of vitamin A on lung cancer. I then graduated from The University of Kansas School of Medicine and completed my family medicine residency at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. After completing training and becoming a board certified Family Physician\, I opened Atlas MD\, a practice that I had been dreaming about for nearly a decade. Atlas MD represents my ideal medical practice where I’m able to shrug off the burdens and restrictions of government and insurance regulation so I can focus solely on my patients and their needs.” ~Dr. Josh Umbehr\, from the AtlasMD website \nPOST-EVENT REPORT: Forty-five students and faculty attended this event. Dr. Josh Umbehr hosted a question and answer discussion around Direct Primary Care. He shared his life as a DPC physician and how he sees DPC impacting the future of healthcare. The event was well attended and guest ranged from medical students\, to residents\, to the Chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine. \n“I was thrilled with Dr. Umbehr’s performance and the event was a perfect inaugural event for our chapter. It was well attended and well received.” ~Nate Williams\, BRI-PSUCOM president \n“Until this event\, I had no idea what Direct Primary Care was.” ~Medical Student attendee\n“While I had previously heard about Direct Primary Care\, our Health Systems curriculum never covered it and that knowledge gap was filled today by Dr. Umbehr.” ~Medical Student attendee \nPictured from left to right: Grant Owens-Treasurer\, Nate Williams-President\, Dr. Josh Umbehr\, Mike Goldenberg-Vice President

SUMMARY:University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC)—PANEL: Direct Primary Care with Dr. Beth Haynes and Dr. Jeannine Marie Rodems
DESCRIPTION:Beth Haynes\, MD\, BRI’s medical director will participate on a 2-person panel discussion with Dr. Jeannine Marie Rodems on Direct Primary Care. \nThis event will begin with introductions at 7pm. \n7:05 – 7:20 Theoretical (Economics/Legislative) aspects of DPC from Dr. Haynes\n7:20 – 7:35 Practical aspects of DPC from Dr. Rodems (specifically opening and maintaining Santa Cruz DPC)\n7:35 – 7:55 15-20 Q&A with prepared questions\n7:55 – 9:00 pm Open questions from the audience \nThis event is free and parking is available at Parking Lot 107. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty-five students attended. Dr. Haynes presented on the concept of direct pay as opposed to third-party payer models. She discussed entities like the Surgery Center of OK\, Oregon Coast Dermatology\, Nayarana Health and Aravind Eye Care in India. Dr. Rodems talked about her DPC model and the DPC movement\, explaining how she is able to provide better care at more affordable cost. The event organizer then asked several questions formulated from anti-DPC articles she had read. These were the really fun questions as they were easily dispelled by explaining the inaccurate understanding many DPC detractors have\, and their failure to acknowledge just how broken our current primary care is. \nScheduled to last from 7:30 to 9pm\, no one even noticed the time until almost 10pm when we needed to be out of the room. The audience consisted primarily of YAL and College Republicans interested in healthcare\, but a couple of pre-med students also attended\, excited for the opportunity to learn more about positive solutions that did not involve more government. \n

SUMMARY:Conference on Global Transformation: POSTER PRESENTATION with Beth Haynes\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Beth Haynes\, MD\, BRI medical director participated in the Conference for Global Transformation\,  a 3-day international event held in Monterey\, CA. Her poster\, Clichés\, Memes\, and Euphemisms in Healthcare was accepted for exhibit in a main hall and was designed to promote and foster open dialogue and communication about healthcare. \nThe poster’s purpose:\n“Far too often we use words without clarity. Or\, we assume our meaning is the same as other’s. At other times\, we use words to signal rather than to deepen understanding or participate in shared inquiry. In politics especially\, this is frequently the case. And yet\, our best chance at inventing solutions which heal rather than divide is through authentic communication. As a first step in up-grading our conversations\, please help me identify explore the clichés\, memes and euphemisms in our current debate over healthcare\, and maybe even create 5th field conversations in the world of Adult as Possibility.” ~Dr. Beth Haynes \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: 750 people attended The Conference for Global Transformation\, an international event with the purpose of exploring ways people can work together to improve themselves and the state of the world. \nFrom Dr. Beth Haynes: \nMy poster invited participants to examine the way in which we use language as we engage in the healthcare debate. \nWhich words invite and which shut down meaningful discourse? Which words are used without clear or mutually agreed upon definitions? What can we do/say to improve understanding and communication\, rather than continuing to talk past one another? \nOver the course of two hours\, I was able stimulate dialogue on how we can upgrade our healthcare policy conversations—both as individuals and as a nation. Conference attendees’ political leaning is generally quite liberal\, so this was a fabulous opportunity to make the case for the importance of including alternative perspectives in deliberations about the future of healthcare in the US and throughout the world. \nI was able to connect with several physicians\, all of whom are active at their local level\, and are either searching for or working to create better solutions. \nI also connected with the founder of Civic Series\, a non-profit aimed at educating young adults about important issues facing the world. Thus far the series has reached out to and engaged millennials primarily from a liberal perspective\, but the founder is genuinely interested in engaging individuals from a broad range of perspectives. In addition to offering to assist her with identifying conservative/libertarian speakers\, I will be connecting her with America’s Future Foundation so the two organizations can look at how they can collaborate. \nOverall\, the poster was well received and generated thoughtful conversations about how to best approach the challenge of improving healthcare policy.”

SUMMARY:Duke University—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care: A successful medical delivery model\, with Dr. Amy Walsh
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend a lecture with Dr. Amy Walsh\, an established Direct Primary Care (DPC) doctor in Raleigh\, NC. Please RSVP via the link\, below. \n  \nIn spite of the growing number of physician testimonials touting the value of DPC\, many med students are still unfamiliar with Direct Primary Care as a successful medical delivery model. Please join us to hear Dr. Walsh’s story. Dr. Walsh trained at Georgetown\, went in to family medicine and worked part-time as an employed physician for 15+ years before seeing the light of DPC. In her own words\, “I opened my own DPC practice in 2015 AND HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER with my career.” \nPlease visit Dr. Walsh’s website: Doctor Direct (DoctorDirectMD.com) \n  \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Dr. Amy Walsh\, is established family medicine physician who has been practicing in the Raleigh\, NC area for over 20 years. She opened her own Direct Primary Care practice in 2015. She spoke about her journey transitioning to the direct primary care model and the benefits that it provides as an alternative model for the delivery of health care. \nApproximately 30 people were in attendance\, primarily first and second year Duke medical students with some representation from third and fourth year classes. We also had a representative from the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians and two representatives from Benjamin Rush Institute. Dr. Walsh presented about 20 minutes of powerpoint slides and this was followed by a 20-30 minute question and answer session with the audience. \nThe event went very well. Students were engaged and interested to hear about a topic that is not covered by our usual medical education. Dr. Amy Walsh was a great speaker. She is highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Direct Primary Care.” ~Andrew Yuan\, Duke medical student and event organizer \n“It was such a great event. My Clinical Skills Foundation (med student small group) met afterward and was very interested in learning more about direct primary care!” ~Medical student attendee \n“I learned so much!” ~Medical student attendee \n“I’m glad we had the chance to learn more about an important topic not covered by our medical school curriculum.” ~Medical student attendee
