Ways to Increase the Scope of Your Outpatient Practice
In a separate article, reasons for expanding the scope of practice were discussed. Here are some ideas of how to increase your practice scope.
Many resources are available to help physicians in this endeavor. Books like Pfenninger and Fowler’s Procedures in Primary Care and Eiff and Hatch’s Fracture Management in Primary Care are invaluable.
Many procedures can be learned by being proctored by another physician willing to teach. Classes and workshops are offered across the country to learn new procedures. Many techniques can be learned by watching videos on YouTube or Vimeo. Online social networking between DPC physicians makes finding mentors easy. Mentors will help you affordably find the equipment and training necessary to gain confidence safely providing these services.
