Description of the session: In 2026, Physicians face unique challenges that distract from patient focus - including volume, reimbursement issues, education, research, innovation, leadership, and more. This session proposes to, a) highlight this trend and identify it as a challenge to be overcome in the future, b) demonstrate through examples how it works when someone does have an advocate "on the inside" and networks are exploited and timelines accelerated, etc., and c) discuss potential solutions for healthcare delivery in the future, specifically through IR.
