Ep. 9 - Balancing Technology and Patient Care with Dr. Charles Van Duyne

In this episode of Profits in Practice, host Sarah Webb talks with Dr. Charles Van Duyne about a career built at the intersection of medicine, business, and technology. Dr. Van Duyne shares how an early fascination with computers eventually gave way to a calling in healthcare. He trained as an OB/GYN, served in the Air Force to cover medical school, and spent 20 years in private practice, enjoying the independence and income potential while navigating the operational weight and burnout risk. As electronic medical records and digital tools reshaped healthcare, he went back to graduate school in his 60s to earn a master's in health informatics and moved into a Chief Medical Information Officer role, serving as a bridge between clinicians, IT teams, and business leaders. You'll hear practical lessons on private practice realities, smart ways to reduce admin friction, and how to keep patient care as the clear "North Star" in a messy system.
