Today we sit down on The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast with two very special Doctors to discuss the role clinical genetics plays in treating a patient today and what role this will play in the exam room and in a medical office in the near future.

Dr. Alex Mason is a practicing neurosurgeon with a passion for telemedicine. He has been involved in outreach telemedicine projects since his training was completed in 2008, starting with working at Grady Hospital in Atlanta, GA.
