Fast-Paced Sprints

Not every important idea requires a full hour. Sometimes the most valuable insights come in short, sharp bursts. That’s why the Direct Primary Care Alliance (DPCA) is introducing Sprints—a new online learning forum designed for our quick learning members who want actionable knowledge in less time.

What Are Sprints?

Sprints are 15–20 minute, highly focused online presentations on specific topics relevant to the Direct Primary Care community, followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. These sessions cut through the noise to deliver what you need to know—fast.

Why Attend?

  • Focused & Efficient: Get practical takeaways in under 30 minutes—perfect for your busy schedule.

  • Wide Range of Topics: From practice management and patient engagement to vendor solutions and innovative approaches, Sprints cover it all.

  • Interactive: With dedicated Q&A time, you can dig deeper into the topic that matters to you.

  • Free for All Members: Whether you’re a practicing physician, a resident, a student, or a supplier member, every Sprint is included with your DPCA membership.

How Are Sprints Different from Webinars?

Traditional webinars run an hour or more and may be designed for CME credit. Sprints, by contrast, are short, sharp, and to the point. They are not CME-eligible, but they are designed for immediate, practical application—ideal for members who want to learn quickly, engage meaningfully, and move on with their day.
