Three quick things before the next post (which I promise is going to be good)
New course
1) I just finished the alpha of the healthcare 101 course, and the healthcare marketing course is currently in production. The next OOP crash course is going to be...healthcare data! We're going to touch everything from tools, to concepts, to processes for anyone dealing with healthcare data for the first time.
We're gauging interest + want to hear from you about the topics you'd want covered. Fill out this form to be invited to the alpha when it comes out.
New discussion
2) I'm going to be giving a presentation + having a virtual discussion with some docs about the route to physician independence. This topic is really important, and I'm going to be joined by few different clinicians with different perspectives on this who are ballers.
- Mario Amaro, MD - Founder/CEO of Ease
- Lisa Lucas, DO - Direct Primary Care owner + DPC Medical Director of Taro Health
- Michael Cui, MD - Rush University Medical Center
- Benjamin Schwartz, MD - Surgeon at Spire Orthopedic Partners
Sign up here for your spot + to get access to the deck later. It's going to be on 9/12 at 6PM.

Knowledgefest application reminder
3) As a reminder, the Out-Of-Pocket Operations Knowledgefest is the first event we're throwing in SF on 11/5. It requires an application that's due on 8/16, and we're going to be selecting for quality. If you're an ops person that wants to share learnings, get into some semi-heated discussions, and find out the cool new tools you should apply.
We're also entertaining sponsorship requests 👀, email me if you're interested.
More details here and the application here.

Quick Interlude - Announcing Build @ Deerfield, powered by Out-Of-Pocket
See All Courses →One of the goals of Out-Of-Pocket is to make it easier for people to start healthcare companies. For the last few months, we have been working behind the scenes to cook up something awesome for people who want to start something.
We’re excited to announce Build @ Deerfield, powered by Out-Of-Pocket. This is a five-week hackathon for early-stage healthcare teams with $250K+ of non-dilutive capital in grants and prizes.
You can see more details here, but in general Deerfield and Out-Of-Pocket are joining forces to do something big for the New York healthcare community. We’ll select 12-15 teams that will:
- Receive cash to start building
- Access to mentors during the program
- Get a chance to present what they’ve built to the broader New York healthcare community at a showcase and reception on January 20-21 at Cure in NYC.
- Judges will select a handful of teams for additional non-dilutive grants and prizes.
If you have an idea you’ve been meaning to build, or your team has just started out, this is your sign. We had such an awesome time doing this last year, you can see some of the projects here.
Now we’re doing it bigger and better.
Apply by November 19, 2026, there’s nothing to lose and a ton to gain. You can find more details and apply here: https://www.outofpocket.health/build-at-deerfield
This is going to be a lot of fun and we’re really excited to be doing this. A personal joy of mine is seeing someone take the plunge just before they build something great, and we’re happy to be a small part of that journey.
Email back if you have any questions. But look at the FAQ first cause we know half of you are about to ask “am I a good fit” or “what are you looking for in an application”.
