Dr. Lisa Davidson of Insight Primary Care will be speaking about the overarching concepts and practice of Direct Primary Care (DPC) in healthcare, and her personal experiences with it. The mission statement from Dr. Davidson's website sums up many aspects of direct primary care: "Insight is defined as the capacity for accurate and deep understanding of a person or thing. Our mission is to create a medical home for individuals and families that is easily accessible, cost-conscious, encourages collaboration, and promotes wellness. We welcome everyone to our practice regardless of race, religion, culture or sexual identity."

Do you want to become a doctor so you can spend less time with patients, be restricted by insurance companies, and fill out lots of paperwork? Neither do we. Come learn about how Direct Primary Care is changing the patient-physician relationship for the better! The Benjamin Rush Institute Health Policy Interest Group invited Dr. Josh Umbehr from Atlas MD, based in Wichita, KS, to talk about this alternative payment model.

"Dr. Josh" has been an advocate and practitioner in the DPC model for many years, and is a frequent speaker at BRI and other free market medicine events. He was a featured speaker at the BRI Leadership Conference 2015 in Washington, DC.
