This week on Be Empowered, we unpack one of the biggest shifts in modern medicine: the transformation of doctors from independent practitioners to employees of large healthcare systems.

We explore:
📉 How consolidation, corporate ownership, and insurance pressures reshaped physician autonomy
⚖️ What’s gained—and what’s lost—when doctors trade independence for employment
💡 Strategies to navigate this new landscape while protecting your values, career satisfaction, and patient care

Whether you’re already employed, considering a hospital contract, or wondering what this means for the future of medicine, this episode sheds light on the realities behind the changing role of physicians.
