After finishing medical school and his family medicine residency, Colin Zhu, DO, realized that the logical next step in his career—signing an employment contract or setting up his own practice—was not for him.
“My mentors loved what they did, but I saw a lot of them start to get jaded,” says Dr. Zhu. “It’s challenging and stressful to sustain a private practice.”
