Could digitization add another person to your exam room? Will the newest technologies being created by small businesses or by hospitals? And most importantly, will the new digital age in healthcare leave people behind? These are some big questions that Dr. Bob Wachter has the answers to.
Dr. Wachter is a professor and the Chair of the Department of Medicine at UCSF. He’s written six books, including one called The Digital Doctor, which was a New York Times science bestseller. He also coined the term “hospitalist” in 1996 and is considered the father of this fast-growing specialty. We can't even start to list the awards he’s received, because we would run out of space here. In other words, he’s the one with the answers — but he also has some questions.

Asylum-seekers have been making headlines, but it’s rare that we get to read their stories. Our guest today, Suzanne Barakat, reads the stories of asylum seekers every day — in the scars on their skin, and the traumas they bring to the clinic she runs.
Suzanne is the Executive Director of the UCSF Health and Human Rights Initiative. Her primary program there is the human rights clinic. There, Suzanne and her team give pro bono medical evaluations. These evaluations help immigrants gain asylum. Her work there is almost as impactful as her story.
