Wolfson, Executive Vice President and COO of the ABIM Foundation (American Board of Internal Medicine); Dr. Cynthia (Daisy) Smith, Vice President of Clinical Programs for the American College of Physicians; and Dr. Akshat Kumar, Attending Physician at Penn Medicine and current MBA Candidate at the Wharton School.Penn Medicine See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
