I see a lot of DPC clinics ran by FM docs. I know you could do outpt as an Internist, but is it feasible to open your own DPC clinic as an Internist without seeing kids/OB? Thanks!

Would you have enough training to do procedural stuff like i&d, lac repair, splint/casting, etc?
Depends on your residency, but likely yes except splinting/casting from what I know of IM residencies in general.Would you have enough training to do procedural stuff like i&d, lac repair, splint/casting, etc?
As someone who used to do DPC, did this kind of stuff wind up in your office? I&D and small lacs I get, but were your patients wandering into your office with displaced radial fractures on a regular basis? Did you have an X-ray in the office and a tech to help with casting? Or did you turf that stuff (or which I think is reasonable)?Depends on your residency, but likely yes except splinting/casting from what I know of IM residencies in general.
My building had a free standing radiology center one door down so I used them. Plain films cash price 5 years ago was $25 including read.As someone who used to do DPC, did this kind of stuff wind up in your office?
