BRI Virtual Speaker Series: If the System is Broken… Rebel & Thrive with Dr. Leila Javidi
The emotional toll of high-volume, low-agency environments is leading to extreme burnout for many primary care physicians. Providers rush through appointments, patients have difficulty getting simple questions answered, and insurers enjoy excessive profits. This complete erosion of the doctor-patient relationship has led many physicians to believe that the system as it stands does not work for them and the only way forward is to chart a new course. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Leila Javidi, Founder of Rebel + Thrive DPC. Her desire to transform health care from just the avoidance of illness to being about complete wellness and thriving has made her a widely followed physician voice on social media. We’ll explore why more physicians are rejecting the "toxic" status quo, what makes the direct primary care model so appealing, and what it actually takes to build an independent practice from the ground up.
