What if we're running a sick care system pretending to be healthcare? AI promises to change that by improving access for patients and reducing burden for providers, but only if we have leaders who know how to guide the transformation. The challenge: healthcare offers no structured pathway for developing these leaders.

Joining today's expert panel: Arlen Meyers, MD, MBA, President & CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, and Muhammad Siddiqui, Chief Digital & Information Officer at Reid Health. Together, they reveal why this leadership gap exists across four levels (personal, organizational, systemic, and societal) and what's actually working on the front lines.

The conversation moves beyond theory into practical realities: why the traditional triple threat model (clinician-researcher-educator) must evolve into something new, how real implementation success shows up in physician quality of life before ROI spreadsheets, and why sustainable AI adoption ultimately requires changing the rules that shape our current healthcare system. The missing piece isn't just technology. It's a culture of continuous learning that prepares physicians to bridge clinical expertise, technological fluency, and entrepreneurial thinking.
