Young MDs getting into the field are expressing more and more interest in their job options, including the role of chief medical informatics officer, according to Benjamin Kanter, MD, CMIO of Vocera. That may be the result of daily stories on clinician burnout, or the exciting digital transformation happening in healthcare. Dr. Kanter joins us today to discuss his journey from practicing physician to CMIO. He often consults with medical students about merging their passions for IT and medical school. Often, such students only hear about traditional physician roles – and never about physicians as administrators, or physicians as tech innovators. Dr. Kanter believes that has to change.
