Description

What happens when clinicians have groundbreaking ideas, but no roadmap to bring them to life?


In this episode, Dr. Arlen Meyers, Professor Emeritus of Otolaryngology, Dentistry, and Engineering at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Colorado School of Public Health, and President and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, discusses how SOPE helps clinicians transform ideas into innovations that reach patients. He explains why most healthcare professionals lack formal entrepreneurship training and how that gap leaves them unsure of what to do with their ideas. He explores the rising challenges of burnout and moral injury in medicine, and how fear, ego, and identity keep many clinicians from pursuing new paths. He also shares how SOPE uses “radical candor,” idea euthanasia, and practical entrepreneurial frameworks to help innovators pivot, persevere, or let go.
