Episode 36 - Episode #1 of the Hospitalsist to DPC Series with Dr. Brian Bost
After 16 years as a med-peds hospitalist, Dr. Brian Bost launched B2 Direct Care in Denver, but he didn’t completely give up hospital work, unlike most DPC docs. He kept his hospital shifts, started telemedicine-only at $75/month, and is taking a deliberately slow rollout. In this first call of an ongoing series, he and Dr. Anne Gonzalez review his hybrid model practice, pricing, imposter syndrome, and his developing hospital-to-home program.

FROM DR. ANNE
I'm building something for DPC Life listeners and I want to make sure it's actually useful to you. There's a short form linked below - three questions, two minutes. What are you stuck on, what's helped you most, what do you want to hear more about. Everyone who fills it out gets a free brandable DPC presentation you can customize for Rotary clubs, employer groups, or any community talk. And check the box if you want to be notified when the DPC Life community launches!.
