3. What do you most often wish you could say to patients, but don’t?

4. If you could change or eliminate something about the healthcare system, what would it be?

5. What is the most important piece of advice for healthcare providers just starting out today?

6. What is your “elevator” pitch to persuade someone to pursue a career in medicine?
