Janine R. Kamath, M.A., M.B.A., states that GRIT is, “having a passionate vision followed by ideas and action…GRIT is not just about dreaming, but it is also about doing…It’s dreaming and doing with a higher purpose.” As technology moves forward with artificial intelligence and machine learning, how can we as healthcare providers ensure that we don’t lose that higher purpose – the human element necessary for quality care?

Guest: Esther Choo, M.D. (@choo_ek) 

Hosts: Anjali Bhagra, M.D. (@anjalibhagramd) and Joshua B. Murphy, J.D. 

As a health policy researcher, Dr. Esther Choo approaches problems analytically; critically examining the data and sharing the insights. She’s applied this to her work with TIME’S UP Healthcare to address gender equity and sexual harassment in medicine. Some of the same barriers that create health disparities impact the healthcare workforce. Addressing these issues will require changing organizational culture, how do we move to a more horizontal power structure without sacrificing all of the efficiencies of a vertical structure?
