Physician burnout is at record levels. The U.S. healthcare system has made it harder to practice medicine than it ever should be - from a frustrating lack of control to an outdated culture that treated long shifts like a badge of honor. In Episode 2 of Building Better Health, Host Terence Samuel is joined by guests Patrick Conway, Chief Executive Officer at Optum, and Dr. Sharmila Makhija, Dean & CEO of the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine. Together, they discuss actionable solutions for healthcare reform — from upgrading clinical infrastructure to rewriting the medical school curriculum — to give doctors their autonomy back and protect the true calling of medicine.
