Do you feel that the practice of medicine has lost control and wandered off-course?  Do you want to get back to working for patients instead of their health plan or employer? What would it take to regain autonomy in your practice of medicine? Come listen and share your thoughts as we re-envision a healthcare system that treats patients and doctors with fairness and respect and removes barriers to relationship-based care.
