The Conversation Medicine Needs Most | Bringing Physicians Together

If you could gather physicians in one room, what's the conversation you believe doctors most need to have with one another right now?That's exactly what we'll be exploring at the Stand Up (for) Doctors! Inaugural Physician Retreat this October, and it's the question at the heart of today's conversation.In this episode of Stand Up (for) Doctors!, we're joined by two physicians who will be attending the retreat and who share a deep commitment to strengthening the future of medicine through honest dialogue, collaboration, and community.🔹 Dr. Frank Cacace, MD FACP is a retired primary care internist with a mission to help ensure primary care physicians don't become an endangered profession.🔹 Dr. Eric Olson, M.D. is a retired orthopaedic surgeon and founder of Integrative Orthopedics, dedicated to advancing a more thoughtful and comprehensive approach to patient care.Medicine has never lacked intelligent people. What it has often lacked is the time and space for physicians to come together, listen to one another, and ask the difficult questions that lead to meaningful change.What conversations have we been avoiding? What wisdom can physicians across specialties and generations learn from one another? And how can those conversations shape a stronger future for the profession?The future of medicine will be shaped one conversation at a time.Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WOhGU0MmXy8🔗 Connect with our guests:Dr. Frank Cacace🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-cacace-md-facp-578540374/Dr. Eric Olson🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-olson-m-d-15756650/If today's conversation resonated with you, you'll find more powerful stories like this in our White Coats book series, created to humanize medicine and amplify physician voices: https://standupfordoctors.org/books/These conversations don't end with the podcast.Join us at the Stand Up (for) Doctors!
