The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast

Today our guest is Dr. Nilda Perez. She Helps Behavioral Healthcare organizations improve & innovate their clinical and business operations through high-performing strategies and leading-edge practices.   Healthcare likes to throw a lot of dramatic words around especially at medical conferences. For example, the word moving rapidly, expansion, modernize, and my favorite, innovation.   So we caught up with our friend and Behavioral healthcare physician, Dr. Nilda Perez to unpack what innovation is all about, why it's important and how it can be practically applied inside a medical practice.   Merriam-Webster defines innovation as 1 : a new idea, method, or device : novelty. 2 : the introduction of something new.   Dr. Nilda Perez combines her three decades of behavioral healthcare experience with her doctorate degree in Strategic Leadership and Foresight to help behavioral health organizations improve & innovate their clinical and business operations through high-performing strategies and leading-edge practices.   She works with behavioral healthcare professionals to develop innovative therapeutic programs, preventative methods, rehabilitative structures and supportive care. Her goal is to equip behavioral healthcare organizations through the lens of strategic foresight with tools that will address present and future challenges in innovative ways and position the behavioral healthcare industry for a sustainable future.   "I’ll assess your leadership team and staff, complete an analysis, and create a roadmap that addresses your challenges."

PART ONE of THREE   Title: Beyond PSA: Utility of a urine gene expression assay for early detection of prostate cancer in the concierge setting   Presenter: Dr. Phranq Tamburri, N.M.D.   In today's presentation we discuss:   • How has the pandemic changed how your practice approaches prostate cancer screening? • With the changing guidelines on PSA screening, how important is PSA in your assessment? • What benefit is there for having 3 genes analyzed in the ExoDx Prostate Test compared a single gene?   Learning Objectives:   • Review challenges of prostate cancer and importance of early detection • Discuss benefits and limitations of PSA screening • Understand how biomarkers can improve decision-making for early detection of prostate cancer in the concierge setting • Discuss prostate cancer staging and implications for practice   About Phranq D Tamburri, NMD   Phranq D Tamburri, NMD is the founder of Prostate Second Opinions (PSO). PSO treats an international patient base after one has received often conflicting advice from their urologist (PSA, biopsy, surgery) and their alternative practitioner (no trust in the PSA, “biopsy is dangerous”, treat with natural medicine) regarding prostate cancer.   Dr. Tamburri utilizes highly conventional assessment tools such as advanced PSA kinetic calculations, PSA patterns, molecular testing (i.e. The ExoDx Prostate Test) and prostate ultrasound (TRUSP) with color Doppler to advise patients whether a biopsy is reasonable given an elevated PSA or radiation/surgery is best over less invasive treatments. He also specializes in constructing highly personalized Active Surveillance protocols.   Dr. Tamburri is a licensed naturopathic physician residing in Arizona. He has been ‘cross-trained’ in both conventional and naturopathic principles through his professional career. This includes Phase 4 testing for Merck Pharmaceuticals, tissue transplant procurement surgery, served as Chief Resident at his Alma Mater (Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine), rotations with Mayo Clinic urologists, and continues to serve as urology professor at SCNM for the past 21 years. Dr. Tamburri is a regular speaker at physician conferences and is highlighted in the annual ‘Men’s Health’ issue of the prestigious Naturopathic Medicine News & Review (NDNR) regarding the numerous changes in prostate cancer assessment witnessed by the medical system today.   Website: https://www.exosomedx.com/   Value of the ExoDx Prostate Test At-Home Collection Kit.   Optimize office visits with the ExoDx Prostate Test   • In-office OR At-Home collection kits available • Improved workflow • Telemedicine enabled • Easy reporting   Learn More: https://www.exosomedx.com/   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.
