| 51 of the Top 100 Healthcare Companies Had a Physician Founder: Dr. David Lortscher Explains Why | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:30:17 | |
Dr. David Lortscher is a dermatologist turned founder of Curology, one of the first companies to combine telehealth, prescription skincare, and a subscription model into something patients would actually use. He's also the author of a new book making a data backed case that should unsettle every hospital administrator who's ever doubted a physician founder: Why Doctors Win. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with David to trace his path from a dermatopathology fellowship waiting for him at UCLA to starting Curology, and then a decade later stepping back from the CEO seat. That gave him time to go looking for proof that his own success wasn't a fluke. What he found is that 51 of the top 100 healthcare companies founded in the last 40 years had a physician founder! Graham and David get into why the doctor plus engineer pairing keeps showing up in the biggest healthcare success stories, the blind spot that trips up even smart physician founders, and David's blunt rule for anyone gathering advice before making the leap: take the inputs, not the conclusions.

| What Does Good AI in Healthcare Look Like? CHAI CEO Brian Anderson Is Trying to Get Every Hospital in America to Agree | 16 Jul 2026 | 00:31:28 | |
Dr. Brian Anderson is a pediatrician turned CEO of the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), the organization behind the push to give every AI tool in your EHR something like a nutrition label: what it was trained on, who trained it, and where it might fail. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Brian to trace his path from a Mass General exam room, where a clunky EHR rollout first pushed him toward building technology instead of just using it, to running a coalition of more than 3,000 organizations trying to agree on one deceptively hard question: what does good AI in healthcare actually look like. They also break two major pieces of news together, live on the show. OpenAI and Anthropic are donating thousands of AI licenses to public health agencies through CHAI, aimed at rebuilding trust in digital tools after decades of underinvestment. And CHAI is launching a health sector specific version of Anthropic's Project Glasswing, bringing serious cybersecurity firepower to the industry Brian calls the most attacked critical infrastructure in the country. Graham and Brian also get into what "human in the loop" should really mean for a working physician, why model cards solve procurement but not the fifteen-minute exam room, and what CHAI is doing to finally connect AI performance to real clinical outcomes.

| Two Surgeons Explain Why U.S. Healthcare Is So Broken And Can't Be Reformed From Inside, from Wendy Dean's 43cc Podcast | 09 Jul 2026 | 00:39:02 | |
A few weeks ago, Graham sat down with Dr. Wendy Dean, co-founder of Moral Injury in Healthcare, for one of his favorite conversations this show has ever recorded. It's the kind of episode that changes how you talk about your own job. That's why this week, How I Doctor is doing something new: handing the feed over to Wendy's own show, 43cc, which she co-hosts with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Matt Ramsey. 43cc bills itself as informal, informative, and irreverent, and if this episode is representative, that's undersold. It's the conversation you'd have with a colleague after a brutal clinic day, if you let yourself say the quiet part out loud. In this episode, Wendy and Matt start from a real patient encounter, a $3,100 out-of-pocket shoulder MRI on a $6,500 deductible, and use it to walk through exactly how the system got this expensive and this hard to fix from the inside. They don't stop at diagnosing the problem. They name the specific legislative mechanism (a provision buried in the Affordable Care Act) that keeps physicians from building an alternative, and the bills currently in Congress trying to undo it.

| 40+ Authors, 9 Specialties, and a Book Written by the Next Generation of Doctors: Emily Leventhal and Rishma Jivan on The Physician's Guide to AI From Offcall and MD+ | 02 Jul 2026 | 00:35:42 | |
Emily Leventhal is a third-year MD-PhD student at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Rishma Jivan is a fourth-year at Rush Medical College who spent years inside San Francisco health tech startups before going back to medical school. Together they co-led The Physician's Guide to AI, a nine-specialty e-book built with more than 40 physician authors, published in partnership with MD+. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Emily and Rishma to find out what medical training actually looks like from inside the AI shift. What's really happening on rotations, in the hallways, and in the conversations students are having with attendings who don't always know what to make of it. They dig into the "hidden curriculum," the unwritten norms of medical training that AI is starting to help close for students who don't come from medical families, and why Rishma refuses to let herself trust an AI output without teaching herself to critique it first. Emily makes the case that AI won't just change how physicians practice, it will change which specialties students choose to go into at all. And both push back on the idea that relying on these tools is a shortcut, describing it instead as a discipline they're still building the rules for in real time. This isn't about students skipping the hard parts of training. It's about a generation building the habits and guardrails the rest of medicine hasn't caught up to yet. 📖 Download The Physician's Guide to AI: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY36B58Z What You'll Learn

| Your Patient Trusts ChatGPT More Than You Now: The New Yorker's Dr. Dhruv Khullar on Medical Authority in the Age of AI | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:37:07 | |
Dhruv Khullar is a hospitalist at New York Presbyterian, a health policy researcher at Weill Cornell, and a contributing writer to The New Yorker. That combination is rarer than it should be. Most physicians writing about medicine observe it from a remove. Dhruv rounds on patients in the morning, then sits down to report on what medicine is becoming for one of the most widely read publications in the country. What he writes carries clinical weight because he was just in the room. Over the past several years, Dhruv has reported at length on AI and its risks for clinical training, the structural forces reshaping the profession, and what he calls the Gilded Age of American medicine: dazzling innovation on the surface, structural rot underneath. That rot has a specific anatomy. Private equity now owns roughly 500 hospitals in the United States, and in some markets a single firm controls more than half of physician practices in a given specialty. Medicare Advantage insurers have turned risk-adjusted payment into a revenue strategy, systematically capturing diagnostic codes for conditions patients may not know they have and that no physician is treating, because sicker-looking patients generate more money. The value-based care revolution that many physicians believed in, Dhruv included, has not delivered on its promise. And all of it is happening while AI is simultaneously raising the ceiling of what medicine can do and quietly lowering the floor of what training physicians are being asked to do themselves. In this episode of How I Doctor, Graham sits down with Dhruv to get into what his reporting has actually uncovered and what it means for physicians living inside this moment. They talk about the difference between cognitive deskilling and cognitive foreclosure: the risk that medical trainees who turn to AI before doing the hard thinking themselves may never build the reasoning infrastructure that clinical judgment depends on. Dhruv describes watching an AI model called Cabot go head to head with one of the best diagnosticians he has ever trained alongside on a New England Journal CPC case, and nearly gasping when the machine finished in minutes. They also get into what happens to medical authority when a patient in your ER trusts ChatGPT over the physician standing in front of them, how Medicare Advantage is being gamed, and whether medicine can still be a calling after the system has spent years making it feel like a job.

| How Stanford Health Care Is Rethinking What AI Should Actually Do for Clinicians with CIO Dr. Michael Pfeffer | 18 Jun 2026 | 00:35:03 | |
Dr. Michael Pfeffer is Stanford Healthcare's Chief Information Officer and a practicing hospitalist, which means he builds AI tools in the morning and uses them on patients that afternoon. That combination is rarer than it should be, and it shapes everything about how he thinks. Stanford is one of the most AI-forward health systems in the country. It runs 1,500 software applications, has put generative AI into the hands of its clinicians through ambient documentation and a plain-language chart querying tool called ChatEHR, and has published the outcomes of all of it, including the parts that did not go as expected. Mike's argument is that none of that is the point. Healthcare spends three times more on AI than any other industry, and most of that investment is going toward automating processes that were broken to begin with. Digitizing the way medicine has always been done is not transformation. The real opportunity is redesigning what the encounter itself looks like, offloading guideline-driven busywork to agents that can own it, and building toward a world where the right test is ordered the first time and the right drug is prescribed before the patient leaves the room. In this episode of How I Doctor, Graham sits down with Mike to get into what Stanford has actually built, what the data shows, and what distinguishes a health system that deploys AI responsibly from one that just deploys it. They also get into clinical AI governance, how physicians interact with decision support versus how they should, whether the next generation of trainees is losing its curiosity or still has it, and what Mike's ideal AI-enabled hospital day actually looks like in five years.

| Meet the Doctor Who Went Anonymous to Say What the Rest of Us Can't: The Story of Dr. Orange | 11 Jun 2026 | 00:34:09 | |
Dr. Orange is a primary care physician, one year out of residency, practicing somewhere in the United States at a health system she can't name. She posts on TikTok as a talking orange, with her face obscured and her voice altered, because showing up as herself would cost her too much. Her employer might find out. Her patients might lose confidence in her. And after years of training and too much debt, she cannot afford either. What she says from behind that mask is not radical. It is what physicians say to each other in workrooms, in parking lots, in group texts that will never see the light of day. That the job is not what they signed up for. That the administrative burden is crushing. That corporate medicine has turned patient care into customer service. That they feel like children being managed by a system that owns them. She said it anyway. Thousands of people have found her. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Orange for the most candid conversation about the state of medicine you will hear from a physician who is still inside it. They cover the financial trap that keeps early-career doctors locked in jobs they want to leave, the expectation gap that nobody warns you about before you become an attending, what would actually have to change for her to love her job, and why the anonymous fruit salad of healthcare workers she accidentally created online is one of the most honest signals medicine has produced in years.

| Moral Injury Is Why The Best Doctors Are Disappearing with Dr. Wendy Dean | 04 Jun 2026 | 00:35:54 | |
Dr. Wendy Dean is a psychiatrist, author, and the co-founder of Moral Injury of Healthcare, a nonprofit dedicated to understanding and alleviating clinician distress. In 2018, she co-wrote a 500-word op-ed in STAT News that did something rare: it handed an entire profession the language for something most physicians had been carrying alone. The argument was simple and devastating. Physicians aren't burning out. That implies a personal failure of resilience. What's actually happening is moral injury, the damage that accumulates when you are repeatedly forced to act in ways that violate your own moral code. That piece started an international conversation that Wendy has been leading ever since, through her book "If I Betray These Words," her podcast 43cc, and her ongoing research and consulting work with health systems around the world. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Wendy to go deep on what moral injury actually is, why getting the language right matters so much, and what a healthcare system that takes clinician distress seriously would actually need to look like. They cover AI's entry into an already fractured system, the EMR as a cautionary tale the profession is at risk of repeating, and the grief that comes with watching a profession you love get slowly hollowed out.

| Now Is Not the Time for Silence. Dr. John Whyte on the AMA, AI, and the Stakes for Physicians Right Now | 28 May 2026 | 00:31:36 | |
Dr. John Whyte is a board-certified internist who has spent his career at the intersection of medicine, policy, media, and technology. He served at the FDA, built a reputation as one of medicine's most trusted public communicators at WebMD, and 10 months ago became CEO and Executive Vice President of the American Medical Association, the oldest and largest physician organization in the United States. Whyte came into the role with a candid assessment: the AMA had lost some of its relevance and impact, and needed to become a real force for physicians and patients in Washington again. He's now leading that effort at a moment when the profession is navigating burnout, prior authorization, scope creep, a rapidly shifting AI landscape, and a payment system that fails to make the case for what physicians actually contribute to patient safety and access. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with John to cover what the AMA is focused on right now and why, how AI is already reshaping the way physicians practice whether they're ready or not, and what it means that the efficiency gains from AI tools are largely flowing to health systems rather than back to physicians or patients. They also get into the harder question underneath all of it: who speaks for physicians when the stakes are this high, and what happens to the profession if physicians stay on the sidelines.

| Dr. Rana Awdish Almost Died as a Fellow. Now She's Teaching Doctors How to Heal. | 21 May 2026 | 00:36:39 | |
Dr. Rana Awdish is a pulmonologist, critical care physician, and Medical Director of Care Experience at Henry Ford Health in Detroit. She is also the author of In Shock, a book that has changed the way countless physicians walk into a patient's room, and her new book After Shock, which picks up where that story left off. Rana nearly died as a fellow from a catastrophic illness that left her hospitalized in the very system she had trained inside. What she heard, experienced, and absorbed from the other side of the bed became the foundation for a decade of research into how medical language shapes patient outcomes. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Rana to explore what it actually means to heal, both for patients and for the physicians caring for them. They dig into Rana's Never Words research, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, which identifies specific phrases physicians use that strip power from patients and offers concrete alternatives. And they get into the harder questions: how do you build trust with patients, why the data shows compassionate care actually makes clinical visits more efficient, and what it means that medicine has spent decades rewarding physicians for ignoring their own bodies.

| Physician VC Dr. John Dayton on What It Takes to Actually Build a Winning Healthcare Startup | 14 May 2026 | 00:38:03 | |
Dr. John Dayton is an emergency physician, Stanford innovation fellow, and co-founder of Wildfire Partners, a new healthcare seed fund built around a simple but data-backed conviction: physicians make better health tech founders than the industry has ever given them credit for. The data is hard to ignore: more than a quarter of billion-dollar healthcare companies built in the last decade had at least one clinician co-founder. John did not just write that paper. He built a fund around it. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with John to dig into what it actually takes to build a health tech company worth funding. They walk through John's Seven Ps framework for evaluating startups, what makes a pitch compelling versus an instant red flag, and why the barrier to entry for physician-founders has never been lower thanks to AI.

| Going Independent Doesn't Mean Going It Alone. Dr. Basil Kahwash on Fixing Referrals and Building Physician Networks | 07 May 2026 | 00:42:12 | |
Most physicians have had a referral disappear. Many have spent days tracking down a colleague just to coordinate care for a single patient. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Basil Kahwash, an allergist and immunologist in Columbus, Ohio, to talk about one of the most universal and underappreciated problems in medicine: the referral system is broken, and independent physicians are paying the highest price. Basil didn't set out to become an advocate for fixing referrals. He trained at Vanderbilt, where reaching a collaborating physician was as simple as sending an Epic message or jumping on a 20-minute Zoom call with three specialists at once. Then he went into independent practice in Columbus and discovered that none of that infrastructure existed. No shared records. No easy way to reach a referring physician. No directory of local specialists. Just a fax machine, a stack of paper charts, and a phone number he hoped was still current. The referral black hole isn't just a physician frustration. It's a patient safety problem. Basil shares the story of a pregnant patient with a rare drug allergy whose referring OB-GYN he couldn't reach for three to four days. These aren't edge cases. They're a typical Tuesday. Graham and Basil co-authored the referral manifesto at offcall.com/manifesto, making the case that independent practice doesn't have to mean isolated practice. This episode is the conversation behind that letter: what's actually broken, what it costs physicians and patients, and what a connected network of independent physicians could change.

| Restoring Physician Mental Health and Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Lorna Breen, With Dr. Stefanie Simmons | 30 Apr 2026 | 00:38:21 | |
Most physicians know a colleague who has struggled. Many know one who didn't make it. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Stefanie Simmons, Chief Medical Officer of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation and practicing emergency physician in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for one of the most important conversations in medicine right now. Physician mental health isn't an abstract policy issue. It's the licensing form that places a mental health history question directly after "are you a pedophile." It's the peripartum depression Stefanie developed during her own residency that she never treated because a formal diagnosis felt like a career risk. It's Dr. Lorna Breen, chair of emergency medicine at New York Presbyterian, working 18-hour days through the first COVID wave in Manhattan, who received mental health care and told her family she was terrified it would cost her her license. Stefanie didn't know Lorna before her death. But like every emergency physician in the country, she was one degree of separation from her. And when Lorna's family started hearing from hundreds, then thousands, of healthcare workers who said "she wasn't alone," Stefanie was one of the people who called. Stefanie makes the case that physician mental health is a systems failure, not a personal one, and that the fix is structural. The foundation has already changed the credentialing language at more than 2,000 hospitals and across 70 state licensing boards, covering more than 3 million health workers. The Lorna Breen Healthcare Provider Protection Act was reauthorized in February 2026. The calculus is shifting. But the work is far from complete. This episode is an honest conversation about why physicians won't seek mental health care, what it costs when they don't, and how one foundation is rebuilding the system from the inside out.

| Why The Pitt Is the Show Every Doctor Needs Right Now, with Dr. Jeremy Faust | 23 Apr 2026 | 00:45:07 | |
The Pitt just wrapped its most talked-about season yet - and two ER doctors who lived the real version have thoughts. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Jeremy Faust, emergency physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Editor-in-Chief of MedPage Today, to have an honest, insider conversation about what The Pitt actually gets right, what it's doing to the culture around medicine, and why it's hitting clinicians so differently than everyone else. This isn't a review. It's a reckoning. Graham and Jeremy explore physician grief, the mythology of burnout, the generational trauma baked into medical training, and why every ER doctor they know secretly identifies with Santos. Along the way, they explore what it means that a TV show is doing more to help Americans understand social determinants of health, end-of-life care, and the emotional weight of this job than almost anything the healthcare system has produced on its own. For doctors who have felt seen by this show, and for those who can't bring themselves to watch it yet, this is the conversation worth having. What You'll Learn

| Using AI to Accurately Code and Measure Physician Outcomes, With Solventum’s Dr. Travis Bias | 16 Apr 2026 | 00:35:48 | |
Most physicians understand that documentation is important. Very few understand the systems that determine what that documentation actually means for how they're paid, measured, and judged. Dr. Travis Bias does because he's spent years operating on both sides of that divide. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Travis Bias, Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Health Information Systems at Solventum, and one of the few clinicians who has led AI strategy for a company whose tools are already inside 80% of U.S. hospitals. The conversation covers the hidden infrastructure behind hospital quality scores, risk adjustment, and clinical documentation. And what most physicians don't realize about how those systems are shaping their professional reputation every day. Travis also brings a perspective most health tech voices lack: two years teaching medicine in Kenya and Uganda, where finite resources and physical exam skills are the standard of care. It's a vantage point that sharpens his thinking on everything from clinical judgment to what U.S. medicine consistently gets wrong. What You'll Learn

AI is everywhere right now. In your inbox, your EHR, your hospital's strategic plan, and probably your last three CME credits. But most of what physicians hear about AI is either hype or fear. We think you deserve something better. In this special Best of AI episode, Dr. Graham Walker revisits three conversations that generated the most messages, DMs, and forwarded links from How I Doctor listeners, plus a Physician Spotlight that has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with why physicians need support right now. These guests don't agree on everything. But together they map a path that every physician needs to understand: where AI actually works today, where it falls short, and what's coming next. Featured Episodes & Links Yann LeCun is the ACM Turing Award Laureate, former Chief AI Scientist at Meta, and co-founder of AMI, Advanced Machine Intelligence. Alex LeBrun is a serial entrepreneur, co-founder of NABLA, and CEO of AMI. Dr. Bob Wachter is Chair of the Department of Medicine at UCSF, author of The Digital Doctor, and author of the new book A Giant Leap: How AI Is Transforming Healthcare and What It Means for Our Future.

| The Pay Gap in Medicine Is Real. Dr. Pamela Buchanan Is Done Being Quiet About It | 02 Apr 2026 | 00:37:54 | |
Dr. Pamela Buchanan is an emergency physician, author, founder of Melanated Medicine, and one of the most candid voices in medicine on the things doctors aren't supposed to talk about. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Pamela to have the conversation most physicians have been trained their entire careers to avoid. What does it actually cost to stay silent about pay? What happens when a colleague throws a stethoscope on the ground and tells you that you're worth more than you're making? What does it feel like to be called the N-word by a patient you treat anyway? Pamela doesn't flinch. She talks about the $100,000 pay gap Black women physicians face even when matched for the same role. She walks through the moment a friend told her to rip up a signed contract — and the $75,000 sign-on bonus that landed in her bank account 48 hours later. She speaks openly about burnout, depression, and the mental health crisis medicine refuses to name. And she makes the case that the silence around all of it isn't accidental. This isn't a conversation about victimhood. It's a diagnosis of a broken system and a blueprint for every physician who's ever stayed quiet too long. What You'll Learn

| Virtual Neurology at Scale: Raj Narula and Melanie Winningham on How Sevaro Is Transforming Rural Stroke Care | 26 Mar 2026 | 00:37:37 | |
Dr. Raj Narula is a vascular neurologist who walked away from a neurointerventional radiology fellowship to build something that could reach thousands of patients instead of one at a time. Dr. Melanie Winningham is a vascular neurologist, medical director of a comprehensive stroke center in Virginia, and VP of Clinical Strategy at Sevaro- someone who has lived the neurology access gap from both sides of it. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Raj and Melanie to explore one of the most urgent and most invisible crises in American healthcare. What happens when a stroke patient lands in a rural ER at 2 AM and the nearest neurologist is a hundred miles away? For too long, geography has been the single biggest predictor of whether that patient walks out of the hospital. Sevaro was built to change that. This episode gets into what telestroke actually looks like when it's done right. They explain how Sevaro's AI-enabled platform — built by neurologists, for neurologists — puts a board-certified specialist on screen in 45 seconds, eliminates the call center entirely, and follows patients from the acute encounter all the way through rehab and outpatient care. This isn't a pitch for virtual care. It's a clinician's diagnosis of a workforce crisis that isn't getting better and a concrete look at what it takes to build technology that works the way physicians actually practice. If stroke outcomes are going to improve in rural America, it won't be through more neurologists. It will be through smarter infrastructure that makes the ones we have go further. What You'll Learn

| How Medical Misinformation Took Over — and What Doctors Can Do to Take It Back w/ Dr. Geeta Nayyar | 19 Mar 2026 | 00:33:03 | |
Medical misinformation isn't a new problem. But somewhere along the way, it stopped being background noise and became the loudest voice in the room. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Geeta Nayyar a rheumatologist, former Chief Medical Officer at both Salesforce and AT&T, and bestselling author of Dead Wrong. Together they diagnose how medical misinformation went from the fringes of the bell curve to the halls of power, and what physicians can actually do about it. Geeta doesn't come to this conversation as a distant observer. She's spent her career at the intersection of clinical medicine and health tech, advising organizations from the AMA to Fortune 500 companies on how to navigate a healthcare information landscape that has fundamentally broken down. Her perspective is grounded in something personal too. She saved her own mother's life during fellowship by doing what the system failed to do: gathering all the data, laying it out on the floor, and refusing to accept a diagnosis that didn't add up. That experience drove her into rheumatology and eventually into health tech, motivated by a simple question she still hasn't stopped asking: what does the average patient do when they don't have a doctor in the family? That question has never been more urgent. When patients can't get an appointment for six to nine months, they don't wait. They go to TikTok. They follow influencers who are confident, simple, and wrong. And while wellness gurus monetize confusion, hospitals are still telling their physicians they can't mention their institution on social media. Medicine left a vacuum, and the wrong people filled it. This episode is a call to action for every physician who has watched that happen and felt powerless to stop it. Graham and Dr. G make the case that physicians aren't just allowed to take the microphone. They are obligated to! And that the hospitals and health systems who figure that out first won't just be doing the right thing. They'll be winning. What You'll Learn

| Inside the First Autonomous AI Prescription Program in America w/ Doctronic CMO Dr. Byron Crowe | 12 Mar 2026 | 00:36:46 | |
Most physicians see AI as something happening to medicine. Dr. Byron Crowe is one of the few who decided to make it happen himself. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Byron Crowe — internal medicine physician, former Harvard Medical School faculty, and Chief Medical Officer of Doctronic — to discuss the most provocative development in healthcare AI yet: the nation's first state-approved program allowing AI to autonomously renew prescriptions, currently live in Utah. This episode doesn't traffic in hypotheticals. The program is running right now. And the questions it raises are ones every physician is going to have to answer eventually — whether they're ready or not. Who's responsible when AI gets a prescription wrong? Is the current system it's replacing actually any better? And if AI can handle the routine work, what does that mean for the physicians who've been doing it? Byron has thought harder about these questions than almost anyone in medicine. He's the first author on the Society for General Internal Medicine's position statement on generative AI. He's published peer-reviewed research in JAMA on AI's diagnostic capabilities. And now he's running clinical strategy for a company that calls itself your personal AI doctor — and means it. Byron doesn't come to this conversation to sell the technology. He comes to make the case that the status quo — millions of prescription refills processed via portal clicks with minimal physician review — is already broken, and that AI done right, with graduated autonomy, genuine accountability, and clinicians at the center, is an improvement worth taking seriously. It's a conversation that will challenge what you think you know about where medicine is headed and who gets to decide. What You'll Learn

| 99 Ways to Avoid Death: Lessons from Author and ER Physician Dr. Ashely Alker | 05 Mar 2026 | 00:32:59 | |
Most people spend their entire lives trying not to think about death. Emergency physicians don't have that option. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Ashely Alker an emergency physician, founder of Meaningful Media, and author of 99 Ways to Die and How to Avoid Them. This episode goes somewhere most medical conversations don't. And that's the point. Because death isn't an abstract concept in the emergency department. It's the patient who never documented their wishes and ended up on a ventilator they never wanted. It's the 19-year-old with undiagnosed Marfan syndrome you catch while suturing a hand. It's the lost patients you carry with you forever. Ashely has been thinking about death since her twenties, when she lost her mother and became the de facto medical translator for a family with no one else to turn to. That personal history, combined with years on the front lines of emergency medicine, is what eventually became a book she wrote for the patients who need it most. This episode is an honest conversation about what emergency medicine teaches you about dying and how that changes the way you live. What You'll Learn

| What Will It Take to Actually Build a Quality Healthcare System? NCQA's New CEO Dr. Vivek Garg Has a Plan | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:35:12 | |
Every quality metric shaping your career, your bonus, and your reputation traces back to one nonprofit most physicians have never thought twice about. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Vivek Garg, the new President and CEO of NCQA - the National Committee for Quality Assurance - and only the second leader in the organization's 36-year history. This episode is unabashedly nerdy. And that's the point. Because the measures you're chasing, the scores you're being judged on, and the bonuses tied to your performance don't come from nowhere. They come from a deliberate two-year long process of evidence review, statistical validation, and independent clinical committee sign-off. It’s a process most physicians have never seen and don't know they can influence. Vivek doesn't come to this conversation to defend the status quo. He's blunt that the current system produces incomplete data, punishes independent practices for lacking the infrastructure of large health systems, and has overused financial incentives as a lever for change. He calls value-based care underappreciated and AI overhyped, and then spends the rest of the conversation explaining exactly where both could actually move the needle. This episode is an honest reckoning with whether we're measuring what actually matters and what it would take to build a system that clinicians trust and patients actually feel. What You'll Learn

| OB-GYN Influencer: How Doctors Can Find Their Social Media Voice and Fight Wellness Misinformation w/ Dr. Fran | 19 Feb 2026 | 00:36:55 | |
Physicians are making more correcting medical misinformation online than delivering babies. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Fran Haydanek, better known to millions as Paging Dr. Fran, for an unfiltered conversation about medicine in the algorithm era. Fran is a board-certified OB-GYN, residency faculty member, hospital medical director and a physician creator with more than one million followers across TikTok and Instagram. What began as a simple video correcting breastfeeding misinformation during maternity leave has evolved into a full-scale media operation. One that now generates more income than her clinical practice. But this episode isn’t about clicks. It’s about trust. Together, Graham and Fran examine why patients increasingly turn to influencers instead of physicians and why the medical system itself helped create that vacuum. Fran argues that physicians don’t just compete in this digital ecosystem and that they have an obligation to show up in it. This episode isn’t a defense of influencer culture. It’s a reckoning with where patients actually learn about their health and whether physicians are willing to meet them there.

| Move Over LLMS! AI Legends Yann LeCun and Alex LeBrun Debut AMI Labs' Bold Ambitions for World Models in Healthcare | 12 Feb 2026 | 00:38:14 | |
Yann LeCun is one of the most influential figures in artificial intelligence. Alex LeBrun is the founder of Nabla and newly announced CEO of AMI Labs, a new AI research company he and Yann are building around a bold idea: large language models aren’t enough for medicine. In this special episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down in-person with Alex and Yann to explore the next frontier of AI in healthcare - world models. While today’s AI systems excel at predicting the next word, Yann argues that real clinical intelligence requires something deeper: models that can imagine, simulate, and plan. From the limitations of LLMs in high-stakes environments to the concept of building a “patient model” that can predict the consequences of treatment decisions, this episode dives into what it would actually take to build AI that reasons more like a physician. They discuss why documentation was the first breakthrough use case, how 80% accuracy fails in clinical settings, and why reliability, and not hype, will determine who wins in healthcare AI. This isn’t about replacing doctors. It’s about amplifying them. If AI is going to meaningfully change medicine, it won’t be through better chatbots. It will be through systems that understand the world.

| The Crisis in Primary Care No One Wants to Own with NEJM’s Lisa Rosenbaum, MD | 05 Feb 2026 | 00:40:48 | |
Primary care sits at the center of medicine and yet no one seems willing to truly own it. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Lisa Rosenbaum, cardiologist and national correspondent for the New England Journal of Medicine, for a wide-ranging conversation about why primary care remains both indispensable and persistently undervalued. 🎧 Before you go any further: If this conversation resonates, make sure you also listen to Lisa’s excellent NEJM podcast, Not Otherwise Specified. It’s one of the most honest, intellectually rigorous explorations of modern medicine and this past season focuses deeply on primary care. Lisa has spent the past year reporting on primary care across the country, and what she uncovers isn’t a story about technology gaps or workforce shortages. It’s a story about culture. About respect. About responsibility. Together, Graham and Lisa explore how modern incentives have quietly shifted medicine away from ownership - of patients, of decisions, and of outcomes - and why primary care has absorbed the consequences more than any other specialty. They dig into uncomfortable but essential questions:
Lisa argues that the crisis in primary care is not inevitable, and not intractable but only if medicine is willing to confront its own values. This episode isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about deciding what kind of profession medicine wants to be. What You’ll Learn

| What Doctors Get Wrong About AI with Robert Wachter, MD | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:38:02 | |
AI has arrived in medicine faster than anyone expected, but speed doesn’t guarantee wisdom. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Robert Wachter, chair of medicine at UCSF and one of healthcare’s most trusted voices on technology, to unpack what physicians are getting wrong about AI. Drawing from his new book A Giant Leap, Bob offers a rare, grounded perspective: neither hype nor fear, but informed optimism. Graham and Bob explore de-skilling, trust, medical education, workflow realities, regulation, and the very human question of what happens when clinicians start relying on machines that may eventually outperform them. This is a conversation for doctors who are already using AI, and those who are uneasy about what comes next. Not a manifesto, but a clear-eyed guide to thinking better about AI before it reshapes medicine for us. What You’ll Learn

| Fix the System, Not the Women: Shikha Jain on Why Medicine Is Failing Female Physicians | 22 Jan 2026 | 00:41:09 | |
Medicine is full of people doing the right thing inside systems that reward the wrong work. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Dr. Shikha Jain, a hematologist-oncologist, professor, and founder of Women in Medicine, to discuss why some of the most essential work in medicine happens after hours, off the clock, and without recognition - especially for women physicians. Shikha makes a clear case for why physician distress isn’t a resilience problem, a time-management issue, or a pipeline failure. It’s a systems problem. From RVU-based compensation models that ignore invisible labor, to unpaid committee work that never counts toward promotion, to insurance barriers that put doctors in the crosshairs while profits flow elsewhere, she explains how modern healthcare quietly extracts more from physicians while valuing them less. Together, Graham and Shikha explore how gender expectations shape leadership, why women physicians are “voluntold” into uncompensated work, and how stereotypes around empathy and agreeableness create double standards that follow doctors from the clinic to the boardroom. The conversation closes with practical guidance for change: how physicians can set boundaries without guilt, how institutions can measure the work that actually matters, and how male allies can show up in ways that help rather than harm. This episode isn’t about blaming individuals. It’s about fixing the system so doctors can keep doing the work that brought them to medicine in the first place. What You’ll Learn

| ER Doctor Running for Congress Diagnoses How to Fix the U.S. Healthcare System, with Dr. Tim Peck | 15 Jan 2026 | 00:39:45 | |
Tim Peck has spent his career practicing medicine where the system is most fragile. A Harvard-trained emergency physician, healthcare entrepreneur, and frontline clinician in rural America, Tim has worked inside nursing homes, healthcare deserts, and communities shaped by the opioid crisis—places where delays, payment failures, and policy decisions have immediate consequences. In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Tim to explore what emergency medicine teaches about leadership, systems failure, and responsibility beyond the bedside. Tim shares why ER doctors are uniquely trained to lead in chaos, how seeing patients too late distorts outcomes, and what he learned by embedding himself in the environments that generate avoidable hospitalizations. The conversation moves beyond ideology into the mechanics of why U.S. healthcare breaks down—from fee-for-service incentives and uninsured rural populations to ambulance shortages and hospital closures that happen quietly, then all at once. This is not a political debate or a campaign pitch. It’s a clinician’s diagnosis of a system under strain—and a candid discussion of what it would take to fix it. What You’ll Learn

| Reimagining the Future of Chronic Disease Care, With Cadence CMO Eve Cunningham, MD | 08 Jan 2026 | 00:39:55 | |
Eve Cunningham has spent her career navigating the hard edges of modern medicine from delivering babies and performing gynecologic surgery to leading large health system initiatives and now serving as Chief Medical Officer at Cadence. Along the way, she’s seen firsthand why chronic disease care continues to fail patients despite more data, more technology, and more dashboards than ever before. In this episode of How I Doctor, Graham Walker sits down with Eve to unpack why clinic-based, episodic care is fundamentally mismatched to conditions like heart failure, diabetes, and hypertension. She explains why early efforts at remote patient monitoring fell flat, how change management and not technology has always been the real barrier, and why most health systems struggle to turn insight into action. The conversation moves from the realities of governance-heavy decision-making and physician burnout to what it actually takes to manage patients upstream before they land back in the ICU. Eve also shares the deeply personal connection that drives her work, including how her father’s experience with chronic illness shaped her view of what patients truly need. This is not a tech demo or a sales pitch. It’s a candid discussion about redesigning chronic disease care in a way that works for patients, clinicians, and the realities of modern medicine.

| Where AI in Medicine Is Actually Headed, with Microsoft’s CMO David Rhew | 01 Jan 2026 | 00:38:25 | |
David Rhew has spent his career at the intersection of frontline medicine and cutting-edge technology. An infectious disease physician by training and now Global Chief Medical Officer at Microsoft, David brings a rare perspective shaped by decades of clinical work, health system leadership, and early research on AI in healthcare. In this episode of How I Doctor, Graham Walker sits down with David to unpack where AI in medicine is actually headed and why so many clinicians feel frustrated despite using these tools every day. David explains why physicians aren’t afraid of AI itself, but of poorly designed systems that remove judgment, overload workflows, and fail to reflect how medicine really works. From agentic AI and ambient documentation to population screening, risk stratification, and resource allocation, the conversation moves beyond buzzwords into the real mechanics of how AI can support better care. David makes the case that AI’s true promise is helping clinicians practice at the top of their license, identify disease earlier, and redesign care around human decision-making rather than administrative burden. This is not a futurist thought experiment or a vendor pitch. It’s a grounded, systems-level look at how AI could meaningfully improve medicine.

| Mark Cuban: How I’d Reform Healthcare If I Were in Charge (Re-Release) | 25 Dec 2025 | 01:03:29 | |
Merry Christmas! Today we are re-releasing one of our favorite episode of the year. We'll be back next week with a brand new interview to kickoff 2026. Mark Cuban is a business mogul, the “Shark” every entrepreneur wants to make a deal with, the former owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and, most recently, an online pharmacy CEO. In 2022, Mark co-founded Cost Plus Drugs with the goal of lowering prescription drug prices. The direct-to-consumer company makes generic drugs affordable by cutting pharmacy benefit managers out of the distribution chain. But, once Mark starts talking about tackling the pharmaceutical market, you get the sense he has his sights set on an even bigger goal: reforming the healthcare system at large. Offcall co-founder Graham Walker recently got the chance to interview Mark on How I Doctor, a podcast that explores the lives and careers of physicians who are practicing medicine differently. Mark, of course, is not a physician. But, as Graham notes, “I'm talking to him because I think he actually gives a damn about healthcare, and more importantly, he's doing something about it.” Mark pulls no punches in this episode, and frames American healthcare as a David- and Goliath-style fight between good and bad actors. Physicians are on the good team: “I happen to be a fan of people who save lives and make other people feel better, you know? Call me crazy.” Who’s on the bad team? Anyone trying to game the system and extract money from it for their own benefit — insurance companies, hospitals, private equity firms, and others. “In healthcare, that $4.9 trillion wherever anybody can arbitrage whatever they can out of the system, that's exactly what they are going to do.” With clarity of conviction and a hard-charging spirit, Mark shares his vision for how to fix healthcare. 🩺 Offcall is more than a platform — it’s a movement!

| Eric Topol on Why Doctors Shouldn’t Fear AI — And How It Could Finally Fix Our Broken System | 18 Dec 2025 | 00:43:40 | |
Dr. Eric Topol is one of the most influential voices in modern medicine. Founder of the Scripps Research Translational Institute and author of Deep Medicine and Super Agers, Eric has spent decades interrogating medical dogma, calling out hype, and pushing the profession toward evidence, prevention, and humanity. Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Eric for a candid conversation about why physicians shouldn’t fear AI and why when used correctly, it may be one of the most powerful tools we’ve ever had to reduce errors, restore trust, and shift medicine from late-stage treatment to true prevention. From diagnostic error and physician burnout to immune aging, GLP-1s, personalized risk prediction, and the limits of randomized trials, this episode is both a reality check and a roadmap. Eric makes the case that AI’s greatest promise isn’t automation, but rather it’s the ability to see what humans never could, identify risk earlier, and finally decouple aging from chronic disease. This isn’t a hype cycle conversation. It’s a grounded, evidence-based look at how AI could help fix what’s broken in medicine if physicians lead the way.

| What Doctors Really Think About AI: Here Are the Surprising Findings From Offcall’s 2025 Physicians AI Report | 11 Dec 2025 | 00:44:16 | |
AI is already shaping how physicians practice. And for the release of The 2025 Physicians AI Report, Graham is taking a different kind of episode: a deep-dive mailbag where he answers the questions doctors are actually asking about AI, grounded in one of the largest physician surveys of its kind. More than 1,000 physicians were polled in this project, and their answers paint a far more nuanced picture than the headlines suggest. 📊 Yes, two-thirds of physicians already use AI every day. ✅ Yes, the majority believe AI can meaningfully reduce administrative burden. ⚠️ And yes, 81% are frustrated with how their organizations are deploying it. In this episode, Graham walks through those realities one by one. He breaks down why doctors trust AI for documentation but hesitate when it comes to decision support. Why the #1 fear isn’t “AI will replace me,” but rather who will control it. How payers, administrators, and mixed incentives shape the way AI enters clinical workflows. And why physicians may quietly be years ahead of their institutions in actually using the technology day-to-day. He also shares the moments from the report that surprised him most and the “dream tools” physicians wish someone would build already. And he offers a roadmap for healthcare leaders, AI companies, and clinicians about how to prevent AI from becoming the next EHR rollout: deployed to doctors instead of with them. 👉 If you want to go deeper, you can download the full dataset and insights in The 2025 Physicians AI Report at https://2025-physicians-ai-report.offcall.com/ Whether you’re experimenting with AI every shift or still cautiously watching from the sidelines, this episode offers clarity on where physicians actually stand and where medicine is headed next.

| The Future of Primary Care Is Independent: How Aledade Helps Doctors Break Free From Employed Medicine with Dr. Umar Bowers and Dan Bowles | 04 Dec 2025 | 00:41:23 | |
Independent primary care isn’t a relic of the past — it’s becoming the future of American medicine. In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker talks with two leaders helping drive that shift: Dr. Umar Bowers, an internist who left a major health system to build the practice he always envisioned, and Dan Bowles, General Manager of Practice Health at Aledade , the physician-led company enabling thousands of doctors to stay independent, financially stable, and clinically autonomous. Umar shares his personal journey from rising frustration inside a large employed medical group to opening Dawson Medical Group with the support of Aledade. He explains what independence really means, why he had zero fear stepping out of the system, and how value-based care became the engine that allowed his practice to thrive. You can read more of his story in Aledade’s physician success profile or connect with him directly on LinkedIn. Dan offers a rare inside look at why so many doctors feel trapped in employment, what’s driving the national shift back toward physician-led care, and how Aledade’s data, contracting expertise, and ready-made community of independent clinicians help doctors cross the bridge to autonomy instead of trying to swim it alone. This isn’t another story about burnout or bureaucracy, it’s a roadmap for physicians who want their careers, their schedules, and their practices back. Whether you’re considering independent practice or simply want to understand the movement reshaping primary care, this episode shows how doctors are taking back control of the profession, one practice at a time.

| Building Decision Support AI That Doctors Truly Love and Trust, with Evidently's Dr. Kalie Dove-Maguire | 20 Nov 2025 | 00:37:56 | |
Dr. Kalie Dove-Maguire is an emergency physician, health-tech leader, and the President and Chief Product Officer at Evidently — a physician-founded company building clinical decision support tools designed to earn trust, not replace judgment. After years on the frontlines, Kalie saw firsthand how critical information gets lost in the noise, how clinicians compensate for broken workflows, and how better tools could prevent avoidable harm. That realization ultimately pushed her from the ER to the product world, where she now designs AI systems that surface the right data, cite their sources, and respect the mental work only clinicians can do. In this episode of How I Doctor host Dr. Graham Walker sits down with Kalie to talk about about why AI must be transparent, why judgment can’t be automated, and what it really takes to create decision support clinicians actually want in their workflow. From the emotional weight of missed findings in residency to shipping software with guardrails, Kalie explains how Evidently approaches trust, verification, and workflow design in a way that empowers physicians. This isn’t just a conversation about AI. It’s a look at how doctors can shape the tools that guide their practice, protect clinical judgment, and help build the next generation of decision support that clinicians rely on. What You’ll Learn

In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker talks with Dr. Codier about why more physicians are turning to unions as their only legal avenue to force real dialogue with hospital leadership. They discuss how the corporatization of medicine has stripped doctors of autonomy, the myths administrators use to discourage organizing, and what it actually looks like to form and run a physician union. Dr. Codier also shares the personal risks, lessons learned, and why he believes reclaiming physicians’ collective voice is essential to protecting both the profession and the patients we serve. This episode is a candid look at how medicine reached this crossroads and asks whether the future of physician advocacy depends on this form of collective power. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

This episode is sponsored by Abridge - the leading AI platform that drafts structured, clinically useful notes at the point of conversation. MDCalc turns 20 this year. What began as a scrappy side project in med school grew - without outside funding - into one of the most-used, most-trusted clinical references in the world. In this episode of How I Doctor, host Dr. Graham Walker sits down with his co-founder Dr. Joe Habboushe - an emergency physician, math nerd in the best sense, and relentless advocate for evidence-based care - to unpack how MDCalc was built, why clinicians trusted it early, and what comes next in the age of AI.

Dr. Annie Andrews is a pediatric hospitalist, public health advocate, and U.S. Senate candidate in South Carolina taking on incumbent Lindsey Graham. Known for her unapologetic advocacy for children’s health, Annie has spent over 15 years caring for sick and injured kids, only to realize that many of their challenges stemmed from broken policies far upstream of the hospital.

In this episode of How I Doctor, Dr. Graham Walker talks with Annie about why more physicians should step into public life, how to fight misinformation without losing credibility, and the communication skills doctors already have that translate to the campaign trail. They dig into the gender inequities baked into medicine and why telling patient stories matters more than citing p-values. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn clinical advocacy into real political action, Annie’s story will make the case that there’s never been a more important time for doctors to run toward the fire.
