Why I Chose Direct Primary Care with Dr. Kenneth Qiu

Dr. Kenneth Qiu is a family medicine physician and the founder of EuDoc, a direct primary care practice in Virginia. Kenneth brings a fresh perspective, having taken the bold step of starting his own practice right out of residency.

On this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker talks with Kenneth about the state of primary care and why he believes a direct care model has advantages over insurance-based care. Kenneth also discusses launching and marketing his practice, the specific challenges of family medicine, and the importance of having humility as a physician. This short episode delivers a lot — from big ideas about systemic healthcare change to tactical tips for entrepreneurial doctors.
