How has the program changed the way you view healthcare?
While it’s easy to say healthcare is broken and place the blame on the patient or payer; this program helped shed light on the perspectives, viewpoints, and conflicts from each of the stakeholders in modern day healthcare. As a healthcare provider, it was illuminating to see the real reason why certain patients chose the treatment path they did.

Did you discover anything new or unexpected at Northwestern?
I thoroughly enjoyed being challenged on my viewpoints and also being exposed to differing views that were grounded in fact and reason.
