Guests: Candice Chen, MD, MPH, Associate Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at George Washington University

Ted Epperly, MD, President and CEO of the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho

Atul Grover, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President of the Association of American Medical Colleges
