Free DPC Ideas, Tips and Motivation

light-bulb-idea-head-idea_bulb

This page will collect and reasonably organize advice, recommendations and ideas from some of the best DPC docs in the country.   Most of this comes from healthy exchanges between a group of DPC friends and will remain anonymous. This is not legal advice.  It is NOT going to be edited well.  These are conversations.   Take what you will from this and check back often as I add more stuff.  If you want more, especially the basics, then I highly recommend you buy the book.
