ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Professional athletes spend their entire lives training to develop their skills and strength in mastery of their sport at the highest professional levels. Similarly, physicians train their entire lives developing a mastery of the sciences and medicine. Why don’t physicians have agents who negotiate their deals like professional athletes?

This inquiry was the genesis of Rocky Mountain Physician Agency.After more than one decade in hospital and healthcare administration, specializing in physician contracting and compensation, Ethan recognized that his skills, training, and expertise could be put to more meaningful use negotiating physician contracts on behalf of physicians.

The extensive experience Ethan has in physician contracting is founded on a doctorate degree in law from the University of Dayton School of Law. While completing his legal training, Ethan earned his master’s of business administration, also from the University of Dayton. He earned his B.S. in Business Administration & Public Relations from Southern Adventist University.

A︎BOUT OUR GUEST:

Bradley Block, MD, is a private practice otolaryngologist on Long Island, New York, where he lives with his wife and three young sons. He is a partner at ENT and Allergy Associates and creator of the Physician’s Guide to Doctoring Podcast.

He realized that rapport was the key to gaining trust, seeing patients efficiently, enjoying his practice, and building his reputation. He tried to find a podcast that would help him improve at doctor-patient communication, but there was none, so he created Physician’s Guide to Doctoring! The topics quickly expanded to “everything we should have been learning while we were memorizing Kreb’s Cycle,” and it is now a practical guide for practicing physicians, physicians-in-training and all allied health professionals. He is available as a keynote speaker on improving the patient experience, doctor-patient communication, and running office-hours efficiently.

A︎BOUT OUR GUEST:

Dr. Andrea attained her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and Biology at Charleston Southern University. She then went on to the University of St Augustine for health sciences to obtain her Doctorate in Physical therapy. Her interest in physical therapy began after her dad survived a massive stroke. PT assisted in her father’s recovery to walk again. She was also always involved in sports; competing in cross-country, basketball, and softball. After PT school, Dr. Andrea worked in outpatient orthopedics where she became interested in treating pelvic floor dysfunction after seeing it as the missing link in a lot of her orthopedic patients (hip and/or low back pain that was never 100% resolved). After learning from the best in the pelvic floor arena and finding out she also had pelvic floor dysfunction, Dr. Andrea decided to specialize in the pelvic floor.

A︎BOUT OUR GUEST:

Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, a writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, and a full-time standup comedian for 37 years.

He’s fought a lifetime battle with Depression and Chronic Suicidality, turning that long dark journey into 8 TEDx Talks and insights on Mental Health Awareness (only one other person on the planet has 8 TEDx Talks…Bill Gates).

Depression and suicide run in his family. He’s thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He’s come close enough to dying by suicide that he can tell you what the barrel of his gun tastes like…

He uses his life lessons to start the conversation giving people permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences.

He believes that where there is humor there is hope, where there is laughter there is life, nobody dies laughing.
