How do you connect to your patients and your community? Dr. Block welcomes Bryan Cush, MS, Co-Founder of Tidal, a company that works on helping physicians connect to the right healthcare audience. Learn about how to ask for reviews from your patients, what is the best platform for that, and if you really need to pay attention to your website's SEO. Bryan’s focus on healthcare stems from a decade-long personal crusade. A parent suffering from an undiagnosed illness led him into an often bewildering and even contradictory maze of diagnostic approaches, tests, re-tests, treatments, and re-treatments that took a full ten years to resolve. This experience taught him how intimidated and confused patients and caregivers can feel. And he learned first-hand the stresses and challenges laced throughout the system. As a result, he wants to create systems where patients can more easily identify the right doctor on the first try. He is determined to help people avoid the headaches of the healthcare runaround while helping his clients gain increasing success. Bryan also understands the internal mechanisms of the industry, which allows him to bring value to a range of healthcare-aligned enterprises.

Caitlin Rublee, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Colorado. She serves as Director of Graduate Medical Education with the Climate and Health Program through the School of Medicine and Assistant Fellowship Director for the Climate and Health Science Policy Fellowship. So what you think we’ll be talking about today. That’s right. Climate change and its impact on the practice of medicine. We talk about what she is hoarding in her bunker with the coming societal collapse from climate change. Actually, she is a lot more hopeful than me, which is clearly reflected in our discussion, so we talk about what gives her hope. That being said, we need to be prepared, so we talk about what she should expect, like more mosquito borne illnesses, climate refugees, more issues with supply chains causing us to practice with scarcity. We also talk about why climate change is a social justice issue and what we can do if this conversation terrifies or inspires you. Probably a bit of both. She is the 2022-2024 American Board of Emergency Medicine National Academy of Medicine Fellow. Dr. Rublee received a MD/MPH dual degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. She completed residency in Emergency Medicine at The Ohio State University followed by a one-year Climate and Health Science Policy Fellowship at the University of Colorado.  Guest's Twitter: https://twitter.com/caitlinrublee Visit www.physiciansguidetodoctoring.com to connect, dive deeper, and keep the conversation going.
