What’s good everyone!!

We’re going to continue the voter registration conversation because it’s very important. Today you’ll be hearing from Dr. Alister Martin, an ER physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, who started the organization VotER. VotER believes that more voices build better systems and they are accomplishing this by making it easier for medical professionals and their patients to register to vote.

You’ll also hear about what it’s like to build an organization like this from the ground up.

Other things you’ll learn in this episode:

How patients can change the dynamics of healthcare
How Dr. Alister has been able to get such a large patient and hospital buy-in
The importance of civic engagement
How he built the intricate network/infrastructure of VotER

What’s good everyone,

Voting is at the root of our democracy. The stakes of this election can give someone heartburn (I got my Zantac ready)! Lucky enough, we got a group of medical professionals making it easy for doctors and patients to register to vote. Their organization is called Vote Health 2020 and they are nonpartisan. Dr. Stella Safo, who is a cofounder, comes on the hotseat to talk about what this organization is doing and how you can take action.

Dr. Stella Safo is a HIV primary care physician with experience in clinical transformation and healthcare redesign within Mount Sinai Health System and Premier Inc, where she respectively serves as an Assistant Professor and Strategic Advisor. Dr. Safo received her medical education from Harvard Medical School and a masters degree in public health with a focus on global health at the Harvard School of Public Health; she completed a residency in Primary Care and Social Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York followed by an HIV fellowship from the HIV Medical Association. Her research areas focus on qualitative analyses of healthcare delivery to vulnerable populations around the world.

What’s good everyone!

Dr. Sylvie Stacy, author of 50 Nonclinical Careers for Physicians, jumps on the hot seat to talk about choosing not to practice clinically. Yes, I said it! There are a bunch of medical students, residents, and doctors who deep down know that clinical medicine ain’t for them. Who do they talk to? Where can they find out next what to do?

Dr. Sylvie Stacy is a preventive medicine specialist living and practice in Birmingham, Alabama. She received her MD from UMass Medical School and completed her residency and earned an MPH at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Sylvie went through something similar, but decided to help others by creating a website that inventoried jobs looking for physicians. She didn’t stop there and wrote this great book. Full Disclosure: I endorsed this book!
