Description
What you’ll get out of this episode

- How HPEC is working to rebuild the physician community in an era of massive turnover.
Quotables
“As Physicians, we are the only ones who took the Hippocratic oath. The oath to put patients first and we take that oath very seriously, so if there is no autonomy and agency for the one who actually care about the patients first, then how are patients going to be cared for?” @leahhoustonMD #HPEC on Ep21 @T-Minus10 w/ @trfitzpatrick
