Dr. Khuram Ghumman, Associate Dean for Strategic Partnerships at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine, past president of the Connecticut State Medical Society, and practicing family physician, joins Dr. Brian McDonough to discuss where documentation and coding burdens pull clinicians away from care, why leadership is strongest when it stays connected to the exam room, and how AI and technology can augment physicians rather than replace their judgment. From rethinking how primary care is funded to designing delivery systems through the patient's lens, this conversation offers timely insights for executives navigating transformation across healthcare delivery.
