The role of the physician is changing, and the time to react is now.
In this episode of Smart Medicine, Dr. Scott Sigman sits down with Dr. Michael Suk, orthopedic surgeon and one of medicine’s most versatile leaders, to explore what it really takes to build a meaningful physician career today. Together, they walk through the past, present, and future of the role of the doctor.
Starting with the past, Dr. Suk shares what he saw in healthcare long ago that shaped the unconventional path that led him to both an MBA and a JD. Moving to the present, Dr. Suk offers his perspective on the rise of physician side hustles, the fight over Medicare reimbursement, and why doctors need a seat at the table when integrating AI and healthcare. Finally, they turn to the future and MD Envoy, Dr. Suk’s passion project and first-of-its-kind physician agency modeled after sports agents, along with what will help tomorrow’s doctors thrive in an increasingly digital world.
