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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Will It Take to Actually Build a Quality Healthcare System? NCQA's New CEO Dr. Vivek Garg Has a Plan
Q: What role do you see AI playing in quality metric reporting or evaluation?
AI should not replace clinical judgment but should be deployed to support workflows, reduce manual burden, and surface timely, relevant insights that matter for outcomes while avoiding standard-setting that outpaces practical implementation.
What Will It Take to Actually Build a Quality Healthcare System? NCQA's New CEO Dr. Vivek Garg Has a Plan
Q: How do you view the scalability challenge for independent PCPs compared to large health systems in terms of quality reporting?
Independent practices face similar quality expectations but often lack the dedicated reporting infrastructure; the goal is to democratize standards and provide interoperable data and resources so smaller practices can participate equitably.
What Will It Take to Actually Build a Quality Healthcare System? NCQA's New CEO Dr. Vivek Garg Has a Plan
Q: Do you think we have a quality health care system in the United States?
The system has pockets of high quality and amazing innovation, but it is not delivering consistent quality at a national level; we need a coherent framework that ties metrics to real patient outcomes and reduces geographic and population disparities.
99 Ways to Avoid Death: Lessons from Author and ER Physician Dr. Ashely Alker
Q: What is your number one advice to fellow physicians about being creative?
Use creativity as a personal outlet that replenishes your energy and helps with burnout, without worrying about where it goes or what happens next.
The RVU Trap: How Hospitals Use Productivity Metrics to Keep Physicians in the Dark, with Contract Attorney Dennis Hursh
Q: Do you think the RVU model is a trap for physicians?
I think for a lot of physicians, it's a trap and does not adequately account for the complexity and quality of care needed.
