In this special series of episodes, the Rotations team welcomes Pamela Wible, M.D., family practitioner, founder of the Ideal Medical Care Movement, Ted Talk contributor and nationally recognized voice for physician and medical student suicides.

In this episode, Dr. Wible talks about her unique personal connection to healthcare and how it influenced her decision to start the Ideal Medical Care Movement. She asked the question: what happens when both medical practitioners and patients are not happy with the way care is being delivered? The answer is to draw influence and design ideas from one's own community. Dr. Wible did just that and opened the first clinic in the nation designed entirely by patients.

Dr. Wible also tackles the topic of physician and medical students suicide, as she has spent a significant portion of her career publicly addressing it and shedding light on a very troubling and often ignored problem in our medical communities.
