What does it really take to build a direct care specialty practice?

Dr. Tabassum Nafsi, MD, FCCP, is a triple board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, and Critical Care. After a decade at UW Health, where she directed Pulmonary Rehabilitation and led the COVID ICU, she left the hospital system to build practices on her own terms.

As CEO and Founder of Rockford Pulmonary Clinic in Illinois and Founder and Medical Director of The Nafsi Institute, she shares how she started with just $5,000, why fee-for-service worked better than membership, and how practice ownership gave her the freedom to provide free lung cancer screenings and serve her community.

You don't have to figure it all out before you start.
