How To Launch A Direct Primary Care Practice Right Out of Residency With Dr. Kenneth Qiu
Manage episode 508212549 series 3501419
🎙️ Welcome back to another exciting episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with host, Dr. Alex Schloe.
💡 What if the solution to America’s broken healthcare system isn’t more insurance—but doctors reclaiming the patient relationship through Direct Primary Care?
In this episode, Dr. Schloe is joined by Dr. Kenneth Qiu—a family physician, med school friend, and leader in the Direct Primary Care (DPC) movement. Right out of residency, Dr. Qiu skipped the traditional employed model and built his own practice, Eudoc, which has now grown to four physicians across two clinics in Richmond, Virginia.
From balancing student debt while starting a business, to convincing patients that DPC is real, to advising healthcare leaders on policy and finance, Dr. Qiu shares why DPC is both a personal calling and a scalable solution for the future of primary care.
💥 What you’ll learn:
✔️ How Dr. Qiu went straight from residency to founding a DPC clinic
✔️ The financial and marketing challenges of launching with no patients and no safety net
✔️ Why word-of-mouth and patient experience are the strongest growth strategies
✔️ Misconceptions about DPC—and why it’s not just for the wealthy
✔️ How employers are using DPC to save money and improve employee health
✔️ Where the DPC movement is headed in the next 5–10 years
🔥 Key Takeaways:
✔️ Direct Primary Care gives physicians freedom to focus on relationships, not paperwork
✔️ Entrepreneurship in medicine is possible—even with debt and little business training
✔️ The DPC community is collaborative, supportive, and growing fast
✔️ Employers and policymakers are beginning to recognize DPC as a real solution
✔️ Doctors don’t have to wait until mid-career burnout—DPC is an option right out of training
If you are a physician tired of the system and looking for a model that restores meaning, time, and autonomy—while still being financially sustainable—this episode is for you.
