Excited to see how @ughe_org will create value for Butaro, Rwanda, Africa and beyond.
Today at UGHE we are celebrating #OneYear since we opened our Butaro campus. Together, we have built a community of health equity advocates that will continue to grow alongside our Butaro community neighbors. #HappyOneYearButaroCampus

Couldn't agree more with Dr. Pai! @ulricksidney @MichelleJoMD @VelinLotta @jwlartigue @ptrucheMD @abowder If conferences were held where the challenges are, local experts would be able to contribute much more to these meetings!

Shedding light on the chasm between healthcare and financing healthcare @ashishkjha @DrAriBernstein
So I wrote an op-ed in @BostonGlobe about surprise billing I hate it. I Its a moral corruption of our profession Yes its complex. Yes there are times when insurers don't negotiate in good faith But often surprise billing is a business model. And it undermines trust in doctors
