Maybe.   I think concierge and direct practice fits the IMP philosophy well but I'm not sure exactly where he's going with this particular initiative.I added his blog to my RSS feeds so I'll read any news from him.

Curious if this is something IMPs want to be involved in?  Seems

to have some overlapping goals.

Birthing the Foundation

Sunday,

June 3, 2012

Welcome

to  Birthing the Foundation!  Join

our journey creating a new tax-exempt foundation whose ambitious goal

is to better patients' and physicians' lives and the communities in which

they live.  This new org aims for two goals:  to study,

teach, then " get the word out " on medical practice styles

that reunite patients with doctors, and to provide a philanthropic

platform for like-minded physicians. We will need your help every

step of the way.  Consider this a brainstorming blog!

As we embark on this voyage, 

Birthing

the Foundation, we will update you on our progress

as we boldly build, then move into our new space.  We will share our

struggles and seek your empathy as we entertain you on our challenges.

This blog will

contain commentaries from Dr. T. Kihm (black typeface) and his

daughters, (blue typeface),

and  (red typeface).  Dr.

Kihm appreciates his daughters' help.  Full-time medicine is rough.

Dr. Kihm

I call it concierge medicine, while others call it direct medicine. 

By any name, I believe in it.  I am T. Kihm, MD.  I believe

in taking care of my patients, and that in medicine, all else

follows.  This niche needs to prove itself through research,

education, and philanthropy.  This niche needs a platform, a

foundation. 

Dr. Kihm

An

internist/pilot with academic (Duke) training, I have evolved my practice

into close to its highest form, I believe.  But is it?  Is

concierge medicine the best medicine?  Like any new field in

medicine, this " baby " needs to prove itself.  The hard

way.  Through research and education.  Like talk, anecdotes are

cheap.  It is time for " quality medicine " to prove

itself.  Come fly with us.

Doctors like us are a generous sort. We volunteer, donate our toil,

contribute to our churches and communities.  Let's channel some of

those efforts and set an example to others who aspire to practice the best

medicine.  More on that in future posts.

Hello, all!  I am privileged to introduce my

big sister .  We like to think of her as the family scapegoat

because she is the eldest of four children. A rising junior at the College

of and in burg, Virginia, is studying biology in

the hopes of pursuing a medical career.  Deeply involved in her

school's musical program, she plays French horn and piano. 

Additionally, enjoys spending her time with animals, especially those

small and fluffy (including  rattus

domesticanus).  Of starting this foundation, says,

" I hope it is a success.  It sure is going to be a swell

adventure! "   is excited to become involved in a new project

for the summer, and hopefully far beyond. 

Finally, and certainly not least, is

the competitive middle child and rising sophomore at Clemson

University, located in Clemson, South Carolina.  She has an uncanny

passion for teeth and is studying biology in hopes of becoming a flawless

dentist.  's bounty of wit makes her the perfect blogger and will

be sure to provide our audience with chuckles galore.  Though is

not an obstetrician, her professional opinion on the spawning of this

foundation is the following: " Our baby is going to be a delight for

the masses: very beautiful, big wide eyes, bountiful hair, 7 pounds, 6

ounces. "

Our next post, " What

do we Name This Baby? " brings you along in our first

lawyer meeting and invites you to help name this miracle.
