    The Pediatric Lounge

    I had a great time speaking to Drs. Bravo and Rogu on their growing podcast, The Pediatric Lounge, to discuss the state of independent pediatricians and the use of data in a pediatric practice.

What they are doing takes a tremendous amount of work and their guest list is amazing (well, besides me).

If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
