Independent Practice Forum a Lively & Thoughtful Discussion
Posted By Columbus Medical Association - CMA, Friday, March 20, 2026
Updated: Wednesday, March 18, 2026

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.

You’re Invited: A Real Conversation About Being & Staying Independent
Posted By Columbus Medical Association - CMA, Friday, February 6, 2026
Updated: Thursday, February 5, 2026

Navigating independent practice ownership comes with unique challenges and benefits. The Columbus Medical Association is hosting a meetup for physicians in independent practice on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at the CMA offices starting at 6:00 pm. This meeting will be an opportunity to connect and talk honestly about practice ownership with peers who understand it firsthand.

  • When: Thursday, March 12 | 6:00-7:30pm
  • Where: CMA Training Room Center, 1390 Dublin Rd. Columbus 43215
  • Who: Any physician currently in private practice, at least half time
  • RSVP here

There will be no sales pitches—just a candid conversation about the realities, challenges, and rewards of staying independent.

This first gathering is intentionally limited to physicians who are currently in independent practice. Future meetups may include opportunities for those exploring private practice, but this session is designed to keep the conversation focused and relevant for those living it now.

Click here to RSVP today.
