Are You Attending the DPCA Physician Retreat?

Register Now

Dates: February 5-7, 2026

Location: Tucson, Arizona

Who It’s For: Experienced DPC physicians looking to step away from the day-to-day and focus on growth, strategy, and community.

A Look Back at Last Year

Last year’s retreat brought together DPC physicians from across the country for three days of focused conversation, shared learning, and honest discussions about the realities of practicing Direct Primary Care for several years.

What Makes the Retreat Different?

This isn’t a large conference with vendor halls and surface-level sessions. The DPCA Retreat is intentionally small, physician-focused, and designed for real connection for those with years in the profession. Conversations go deeper, questions get answered, and relationships are built that last well beyond the weekend. This is NOT for the new practitioner.

Sessions Include

  • Best Kept Secrets for Retirement Planning
  • Succession Planning for DPC Physicians
  • Emotional Intelligence, Identity, and Purpose for Patient Healing and Personal Fulfillment
  • 10 DBT Techniques to Improve Practice Life
  • Tax Strategy and Physician Owned Co-ops
  • And more....

A Letter to Our Physician Members as We Head Into 2026

As Direct Primary Care continues to grow, so does the number of communities, vendors, groups, and organizations within the space. That growth is a good thing, but it also makes clarity and leadership more important than ever.

DPCA exists to represent and support physician-led Direct Primary Care. For more than eight (8) years, DPCA has worked to advance the model through education, advocacy, and community, staying focused on what matters most: protecting the integrity of DPC and supporting the physicians who practice it.

Membership matters because:

  • DPCA is an exclusively DPC physician-focused association.
  • The alliance has a long-standing history in the DPC movement and profession.
  • Members gain access to trusted resources, education, and collaboration.
  • DPCA provides a unified voice for DPC at a national level

As we head into 2026, DPCA remains committed to being a steady, credible presence in an increasingly crowded space and to earning your membership every year.
