Your Invitation

The Direct Primary Care Alliance invites you to join us for the 2027 (3rd Annual) DPC Physician Retreat designed specifically for experienced Direct Primary Care physician owners who have moved beyond the start-up phase and are focused on refining and advancing their practice and vision. Unlike events tailored for new DPC physicians, this retreat provides a space where established DPC doctors can connect with peers, exchange high-level strategies, and explore the next stage of practice growth, leadership and succession planning. Registration is offered exclusively to DPCA member physicians.

This retreat is more than just a conference—it’s an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day demands of practice and immerse yourself in a setting that fosters growth, clarity, and connection. Whether you’re looking to refine your practice operations, explore legacy and succession planning, or simply recharge in a supportive community, the Executive Retreat offers the tools, strategies, and inspiration to take your practice to the next level. Through targeted workshops, thought-provoking discussions, and guided activities, you’ll identify the challenges holding you back and explore practical solutions to customize your "next chapter" professional and personal vision.

 Above all, the DPC Physician Retreat is about connection. You’ll share experiences, build lasting relationships, have the opportunity to engage in recreation and wellness activities with peers, and join a community that champions the DPC movement and the physicians leading it.

The inaugural retreat was in Costa Rica, and our second retreat was in Tucson. Both were inspiring, and we anticipate a high level of interest again this year. Registration will be limited to approximately 30 DPCA physician practice owners in order to ensure the intimate environment necessary to foster deeper conversations and intensive exploration of topics. We look forward to welcoming you to this transformative experience—where professional growth and personal renewal come together in an unforgettable setting.

See you there!
