  • Enjoyed the role play with Dr.Saad & Mike Sacopulos

    Excellent episode. I appreciated hearing the recommended schedule for coaching sessions and how Doctor Saad helps clinicians enjoy the journey. His analogy about re Ai: Do our alarms wake us up or does our setting the alarm wake us up is terrific. Thank you, Susan Keane Baker

  • Informative, but goodness that music

    I enjoy being a member of the AAPL and after learning about this podcast at the June 2023 conference in Chicago I’ve enjoyed a few of these episodes. But my goodness, the music is so silly.

The intro and ending music for this is so tacky and bad though! First the beachy rift and then the sign off “Bada bing bada boom” ? May I suggest ... more

This is not the place to go for a review of the most recent and relevant literature on eg COPD management. But it is helpful for aspects such as running a medical practice or an entire health system, figuring out how to make a certain type of impact on healthcare, advancing to or thriving in... more
