Topher (Christopher) Obetz is an emergency physician in practice at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, MN. He graduated a year or two after I did from the EM residency at Regions Hospital.

We wandered through a number of topics during this coffee shop interview, from physician engagement to efficiency, mindfulness and creative writing. Enjoy!
