In this episode, host Dan Karnuta and guest Dr. Britt Berrett focus on the need for physicians to have business acumen in an increasingly complex U.S. healthcare system. Berrett, co-founder and first host of The Business of Healthcare Podcast and current managing director and teaching professor of the Healthcare Industry Collaborative at Brigham Young University, shares his insights on the evolution of healthcare after the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing corporatization of the industry. Berrett points out that healthcare is no longer just a clinical profession. It now requires strong business acumen to understand revenue cycles, private equity involvement, and new technologies like telemedicine and artificial intelligence.

Karnuta is director of the Professional Program in Healthcare Management at The University of Texas at Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management.
