The Heart of Healthcare Podcast

Tom X Lee unpacks why the leap from medicine to startups is so rare. Academic training builds precision, caution, and control. But entrepreneurship? It thrives on ambiguity, delegation, and risk. Bridging that mindset gap could be the key to unlocking healthcare’s next wave. 🎧 Listen in:  Apple: https://lnkd.in/g86qZjFB Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gG_tH3Wy #DigitalHealth #AIinHealthcare #ClinicalReasoning #HealthTech #MedicalEducation #CriticalThinking #FutureOfMedicine #PodcastInsights
