Two Great New Direct Primary Care Resources

Posted on by

The following was created by Jack Forbush, DO and they are awesome.

This startup kit was developed by experienced DPC physicians — including some of the first in the nation to practice Direct Primary Care — drawing from years of real-world experience building and mentoring DPC practices.

What makes this different:

  • Bootstrap-first philosophy — We lead with “what’s the minimum?” not “what’s ideal?”
  • All 50 states covered — State-specific laws, regulations, and resources
  • Open source — Free to use, share, and improve (CC BY-NC 4.0)
  • Real-world tested — From physicians who’ve done it, not consultants who haven’t

This resource serves as the knowledge base for the DPC Mentor Platform, connecting aspiring DPC physicians with experienced mentors.
