I built MDCalc 20 years ago because I wanted to save myself and other doctors time and make it easy for them to integrate more evidence into their medical care. Now I’ve launched Offcall to tackle something even bigger: giving doctors back our autonomy — through salary and workload transparency. These ideas shouldn’t be radical…but here we are. I still practice emergency medicine, but I’ve spent m... more

  • Inspiring and Empowering for any Mid-Career Professional

    I love the focus of this podcast on giving doctors back their autonomy and encouraging creativity in medicine. Episode 29 with Dr. Kaveh Hoda was especially impactful—the conversation about mid-career physicians needing something beyond their jobs to expand their lives really resonated with me. This show is a refreshing reminder that medicine can be more human, more creative, and more fulfilling.

  • Casual, Insightful, and Refreshingly Human

    It’s smart, honest, and surprisingly relatable. Feels more like a thoughtful convo than a typical medical podcast. Graham’s perspective as an ER doc is super refreshing—curious, humble, and real. Definitely worth a listen.

Your Patient Trusts ChatGPT More Than You Now: The New Yorker's Dr. Dhruv Khullar on Medical Authority in the Age of AI
Q: How does Khullar describe the balance between deep reporting and timely, current topics in medicine and AI?
Khullar explains that his New Yorker work benefits from the gift of time for deep research, which allows him to explore AI and medicine from multiple angles, while also engaging with current events to keep the discussion relevant.
40+ Authors, 9 Specialties, and a Book Written by the Next Generation of Doctors: Emily Leventhal and Rishma Jivan on The Physician's Guide to AI From Offcall and MD+
Q: What should practicing physicians take away after reading one chapter of the guide?
Readers should come away with a clearer language to discuss AI in medicine, a better understanding of the AI landscape within their specialty, and practical takeaways on where AI can meaningfully improve patient care without replacing essential clinical judgment.
How Stanford Health Care Is Rethinking What AI Should Actually Do for Clinicians with CIO Dr. Michael Pfeffer
Q: Let me ask you about ChatEHR. Can you describe what ChatEHR is and where it came from?
ChatEHR started as a secure, HIPAA-compliant playground (Secure GPT) where Stanford Medicine experimented with AI tools before gradually integrating them into real clinical workflows. It combines patient-specific question answering with an automation platform that can apply complex rules in real time, moving beyond simple rule-based decision support to leverage larger language models for advanced tasks.
Moral Injury Is Why The Best Doctors Are Disappearing with Dr. Wendy Dean
Q: What exactly is moral injury, and how is it different from burnout?
Moral injury is the experience of betraying one's own moral code due to external pressures and systemic constraints, not simply a personal failing or fatigue like burnout. It comes from repeatedly witnessing or participating in practices that conflict with one's core values, and it is compounded when there is no opportunity to repair the harm.
Now Is Not the Time for Silence. Dr. John Whyte on the AMA, AI, and the Stakes for Physicians Right Now
Q: How do you see AI changing the physician's role in the next 5-10 years, and what safeguards do you think are essential?
AI should be a trusted partner that helps with decision support, risk stratification, and operational efficiency, but must be validated, supervised by physicians, and used to augment—not replace—the patient-physician relationship.
