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.

  • 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.
