Upstream Medicine: Healing Through Trust, Dignity, and Context - with Dr. Sandeep Kapoor
Manage episode 514180186 series 3604696
The healers we need now don’t stop at the exam room; they go upstream to the causes of suffering and make safety, dignity, and trust part of the clinical job.
In this episode, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, a physician and academic leader, calls for a broader, more human-centered definition of health care, one that addresses substance use, firearm injuries, pain, and the social realities that shape well-being. Drawing on personal experiences and systemic insight, he advocates for harm reduction, trust-building, and courageous leadership that transforms stigma and obstacles into opportunities for progress.
Tune in and learn how broadening medicine’s scope saves lives and restores trust!
