Hello I am the AOA's Practice Resource concierge. I have contacts that help DOs establish a DPC practice. It's of particular interest to me as there have been many DPCs established here in Wisconsin to help self insured employers fight soaring premium costs. I'm also a believer in enabling PCPs to manage chronic diseases instead of forcing them to be gatekeepers to specialists within big health systems. cevans@precisionhealthcareconsulting.com

Hi everyone! My name is Lejla Hodzic, and I'm a fourth-year medical student at Kansas City University. My parents came to the United States as refugees in 2000, and I am a first-generation college and medical student. Much of my journey in medicine has been shaped by my identity, and it has fueled my passion for helping others who have similar stories/navigating similar barriers.

I'd love to hear about everyone else's experiences. If you're also first-generation, what has your Read more...
