Listen to a doctor’s passionate case for protecting the physician-patient relationship and keeping care centered on people—not metrics, corporate targets or insurance barriers.
On this episode of Working Healthcare, host Meredith Hirsh speaks with Dr. Kayvan Amini—an independent cardiologist, physician advocate and leader in organized medicine—about the forces reshaping American healthcare and what is at stake when physicians lose autonomy.
Kayvan shares why independent medicine matters and why doctors need a meaningful voice in healthcare leadership. He discusses the pressures facing private practices, including physician burnout, workforce shortages, administrative demands and the growing movement toward employed care models.
The conversation also explores how healthcare organizations can better support and retain women physicians through more flexible workplace structures, creative practice models, and leadership opportunities that recognize the realities of rigorous training and family responsibilities.
Kayvan’s commitment to service and resilience is rooted in his personal story. After political exile disrupted his family’s life, he rebuilt from the ground up—an experience that strengthened his belief in independence, public service and building a medical practice around patients’ individual needs.
Press play for an honest conversation about compassionate care, physician leadership and the changes needed to preserve the human connection at the heart of medicine.
