Conversations with Clinicians
Listen to my new video podcast with Dr. Minal Patel
Friends -
My heart continues to be drawn to elevating and developing outstanding clinician leaders, or as I like to call us, healthcare execs with clinical expertise. I strongly believe that, in order to drive meaningful healthcare innovation and also strong business growth, we need more great clinicians to live at the critical intersection of clinical & business disciplines.
First step is to shine a bright light on great healthcare leaders who have done this well! So it is a special treat to be launching my new video podcast series, Conversations with Clinicians, by shining that spotlight on my friend, mentor, colleague, investor, board member (you name it!), Minal Patel.
Minal is the currently the founder and CEO of Abacus Insights. After beginning his career as a physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital, he served as consultant at McKinsey & Company, and held several roles at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey including Chief Strategy Officer. His former company, Care Management International, was acquired by iHealth Technologies.
In this fun and wide-ranging conversation, Minal and I discuss his decision to pursue business and entrepreneurship, the role of mentors and role models, staying true to your mission, tapping into the expertise of those around you, and some final tidbits of sage advice!
