Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday.

It’s the one time of year where gratitude gets to be the main course…and not just the thing we squeeze in between Zoom calls, deadlines, and emails. The faster and faster life seems to get, the more I appreciate daily gratitude, kindness, and good karma.

This year, I’m wishing everyone a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving. 🦃🧡

To the friends, colleagues, and loved ones who’ve supported me through all the ups, downs, detours, and plot twists of being an entrepreneur, a speaker, writer, and mother, thank you. This isn’t a comprehensive list, just a few wonderful humans who’ve earned a permanent seat at my metaphorical Thanksgiving table (next to the stuffing, and Tandoori turkey of course)

I feel beyond blessed and incredibly lucky to have you all in my orbit. Truly! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. May your hearts be full and your plates tomorrow even fuller!

🦃

1️⃣ Mastering clinical workflows.
2️⃣ Building a trust bridge with patients and providers through transparency.

Amazing insights in a beautiful location!

Heart health can’t wait! ❤️

So excited to team up with to talk about their latest Future Health Index report and shed light on a critical topic.

Why patients need effective AI in cardiology and how to build trust in this care. To reap the benefits of AI, trust in the technology needs to be built with our healthcare professionals and patients along the way. Technology doesn’t build trust. People do.

And when it comes to heart health, we’re talking ‘time is myocardium’ – every second counts!

AI isn’t replacing our amazing doctors; it’s empowering them to deliver the best possible care.

My prediction: AI will be our ultimate co-pilot in preventing heart disease!

in Las Vegas was buzzing this year! The energy, the innovation, the ideas.

What stood out most to me wasn’t just the tech. It was the people, the sheer number of clinical leaders showing up, speaking up, and leaning in. For the first time, it truly felt like clinicians were steering the conversation around AI. Not just being spoken about, but speaking for the future of medicine.

AI will reshape how we diagnose, document, and deliver care. But it can never replace the human touch, empathy, or trust that comes directly from physicians and healthcare workers. This year’s made it clear: the future of healthcare won’t be built by algorithms alone, but by clinicians who understand both science and soul.

It was also inspiring to see voices like Dr. Nisha Mehta of Physician Side Gigs and Jake Horowitz of Off Call, owning the floor and representing both the physician and patient perspectives with authenticity and impact.

Equally exciting was Dr. John Whyte’s announcement of the new American Medical Association's Center for Digital and AI Innovation, a step forward in ensuring that physicians are not only participants but architects of how AI integrates into care delivery. It’s exactly the kind of leadership our industry needs: one grounded in science, ethics, and the sacred trust between doctor and patient.

And reconnecting with old friends like Dr. Mike Cantor, who continues to serve as a fractional Chief Medical Officer for companies at every stage, always reminding me that the doctor-patient relationship is sacred.

Lastly, amidst all the buzz, a few of us Desi brothers and sisters found time to celebrate Diwali. Here’s hoping next year HLTH formally recognizes the holiday and the fact that Indian-origin physicians now represent one of the largest groups within the U.S. physician workforce— accounting for about one in five immigrant doctors and a growing share of clinicians nationwide. Special kudos to Dr. Bobby Mukkamala, President of the AMA, whose presence made Diwali feel real on the show floor. ✨

The erosion of public trust is one of the most significant challenges facing healthcare today.

My new article for Medical Economics, "Why physicians are the last anchors of trust in public health," explores this critically. I discuss the strategic responsibility that falls on the medical profession to actively reinforce its role as a credible, reliable source of information and advocacy in an increasingly polarized landscape. Our clinical expertise is only as impactful as the public's willingness to believe it.

I encourage my network of healthcare leaders, policymakers, and colleagues to read the analysis and share your perspective. What changes must we make to keep trust?

Doctors combat medical misinformation by becoming trusted anchors for patients, fostering clarity and trust in turbulent health landscapes.

I recently wrapped up a keynote for and got the inside scoop on how pharmacists want to leverage AI! They're looking for help with prior auth, smart pump dosing simplification, and simple auto-verification (think acetaminophen, not chemo).

The most significant negative impact so far, however, is the increase in claims processing denials by AI. This is leading to delays and extra paperwork for everyone. 😠

We can fix this. AI should make pharmacists and physicians more effective and efficient, not create more hurdles for patients and their providers.

I recently delivered a keynote in Colorado Springs and got a particularly interesting question from a hospital board exec on how to address mis- and disinformation in these times. My advice? Start by doubling down on what you do best as a healthcare delivery enterprise.

It was an honor to be a part of the event "Health Without Borders: Building a global workforce for the future" hosted by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties last week.

The World Health Organization (WHO) projects a shortfall of 10 million health workers by 2030, mostly in low and middle-income countries.

Workforce shortages and physician burnout remain global problems that have been exacerbated by artificial barriers.

The lack of standards surrounding global credentialing and licensure is just one contributing factor. I enjoyed my conversation with Rajesh and shared my own family's background as the daughter of foreign medical graduates who had to repeat their residency training and boards, costing both time and money, to practice in the United States. A barrier difficult to cross for many qualified doctors with transferable skills.

Thank you to Schsorg and the Devex team for putting together an excellent program and dialogue inspiring global change and partnerships.
