On the Edge of Health and Design

The Duality of Healthcare with Faizal Kassam (episode 23)


Listen Later

In this month's episode, we welcome Faizal Kassam, a Canadian family physician, who completed medical school/training in Australia. Faizal is currently working as a family physician in Australia, making him the most remotely located guest we have interviewed to date!

Based on his dual perspectives as a physician and a patient/caregiver, Faizal identified several challenges facing the Canadian healthcare system, including public mistrust, inadequate funding to address complex problems, and healthcare worker burnout.

Finally, Faizal shared his personal story of caring for his mother towards the end of her life, highlighting the need for more resources and supports to help us design better collective death experiences.

We hope you enjoy this episode and we welcome any comments/feedback!
