Version 1.0.0

As a Direct Primary Care doctor, you have a big hill to climb. The job is not easy. It’s an uncertain world that can be as scary as it is gratifying. The Direct Primary Care Doctor’s Daily Motivational Journal helps you in this endeavor by using the old-fashioned, pen-and-paper method allowing you to brainstorm, concentrate and gather your thoughts. Just fifteen minutes each morning with DPC specific questions will help you be the doctor you always wanted to be, in the practice you always wanted to have. But there’s a secret: you can’t be told what to think or believe. You must work through the process and find the answers yourself. That is what this book is for. 

This Direct Primary Care Doctors’ Daily Motivational Journal is NOT just for beginners. It works really well even for seasoned DPC Docs who continually need to refresh their spirits, keep sharp and stay motivated. Whether you are just starting out or you are in year 10, this workbook is well worth your time and effort. 

THIS IS A LARGE, 300+ PAGE WORKBOOK WITH DAILY QUESTIONS FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. IT IS NOT A NOVEL TO READ. IT IS FOR YOU TO WRITE IN AND LEARN FROM. PLEASE SEE THE PREVIEW BEFORE PURCHASING. 

Some reviews:

“A thought-provoking book to work through on your own time to construct your ideal DPC practice. Whether you complete it in 3 months or 12 months, the answers to the questions are all your own. You are the only one who knows the specific passion and vision that you bring to Direct Primary Care! Questions range from broad, existential, personal questions to relationships to nuances of environment and service in your clinic. This appeals to new or seasoned DPC doctors or any physician who has a desire to improve their practice and the discipline of daily journaling will certainly improve many areas of life.”
