More than a dozen physicians came together for a lively and thoughtful exchange at our first Independent Practice Forum earlier this month. Held on March 12, 2026, the gathering brought together primary care physicians and a wide range of subspecialists currently navigating independent practice. 

The conversation covered the unique benefits and challenges of owning an independent practice and included a brainstorm about what resources and support the CMA could provide. Participants were able to speak honestly with others who understand their day-to-day experiences – the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

The group plans to meet regularly for continued conversation. If you would like to receive updates on upcoming meetings or contribute to future conversations, please complete this interest form. 

Participation is currently limited to physicians in independent practice, though future sessions may open the door for those considering a move into private practice.
