  • 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.

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
