For the 27th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Michael Saad, Senior VP and CIO at The University of Tennessee Medical Center.  In this episode we learn about Saad’s experience outside of healthcare and what we can learn from that background.  Plus, we dive into a number of workforce related challenges including: the health IT talent shortage, gender inequality in tech, and what Saad’s doing to address workforce challenges in his organization.  He also shares why he decided to start his blog (CIO Reflections) and the best career advice he’s ever been given.
