What's the Future for Specialists?

On June 18, SunTrust Bank sponsored a webinar for its physician clients (most of them specialists), in which I discussed the future of business models and care models: How will medical specialists make a living in the future? And how will they care for patients?

I have prepared a white paper summarizing the webinar on the future of healthcare for specialists.

A recording of the presentation itself, a 40-minute audio and PowerPoint, is available here.

  • Joe Flower spoke at our Kaiser Hospital. It was one of the most well-received talks in quite some time. His material is topical, timely, and very up-to-date. As a physician I can also add that his mastery of medical information is amazing. Several of (us) were surprised that he was not a physician. I would be very excited to have Joe do a return engagement.
