    23 - Dr. Katrina Skinner: Every Year, Do More of What You Love

    Dr. Katrina Skinner joins Chip this week to talk about building an independent pediatric practice from the ground up — and why the mindset of a CEO can be just as important as clinical expertise. Dr. Skinner shares how she went from a teenage hospital employee asking to shadow surgeons to opening her own practice immediately after residency, the lessons she learned about entrepreneurship and delegation, and why pediatricians need to spend more time doing what only they can do, as well as more of what they love to do. She also discusses her work creating Women in Pediatrics and Pediatric CEO, the importance of connection and community, and what she believes independent pediatric practice may look like in the years ahead.

    22 - Dr. Christoph Diasio and the Power of "Why not?"

    Dr. Christoph Diasio joins Chip Hart for a wide-ranging conversation about the challenges—and extraordinary promise—of modern pediatrics. He reflects on rising anti-science sentiment while finding hope in lifesaving advances such as RSV immunization, renewed public advocacy, and the enduring trust between pediatricians and families. Drawing on his experience building a fully integrated behavioral health program, Dr. Diasio explains why every child deserves access to mental healthcare and describes his effort to create a pediatric supergroup capable of expanding that model across North Carolina. Throughout the discussion, he makes a compelling case for physician leadership, greater investment in children, and the courage to keep asking, “Why not?”

    21 - Dr. Brian Bowman - Landing the Plane (and Acting!)

    In this episode of Charting the Future, Chip Hart sits down with Dr. Brian Bowman to reflect on a career shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and an unusually deep commitment to independent pediatrics. Dr. Bowman describes the growth of his North Carolina practice from a single office into a 17-clinician organization, and explains how he gradually became its go-to leader for billing, payer negotiations, quality programs, and practice operations. His perspective is clear: strong pediatric practices are built not merely by demanding better payment, but by demonstrating value, reducing administrative friction, sharing knowledge, and working collectively to improve care for children. As Dr. Bowman begins transitioning from partner to part-time employed physician, he offers a thoughtful and candid perspective on succession, identity, and knowing when to step away. He discusses preparing younger physicians to lead, leaving the practice in capable hands, and making room for travel, family, and new adventures while he is still physically able to enjoy them. He also reflects on the threats facing pediatrics—including vaccine misinformation and public policy disconnected from public health—and closes with practical wisdom for younger physicians: do not settle for a career or life that leaves you unhappy, and never underestimate how much pediatric care depends on empathy, communication, and the ability to meet families where they are.

    19 - Dr. Steven Hirsch: Building Pediatrics on Purpose

    Check out the video version of this episode on our Youtube channel! In this episode of Charting the Future, Chip Hart sits down with Dr. Steven F. Hirsch, MD, FAAP founder and medical director of Hirsch Pediatrics, to explore what it means to build a pediatric practice with intention. From designing an office that feels more like a welcoming European village than a medical clinic to creating workflows that prioritize preventive care, patient convenience, and physician well-being, Dr. Hirsch shares the philosophy that has guided his independent practice from day one. The conversation spans everything from data-driven practice management and patient portals to burnout, vaccine confidence, mental health integration, and the future of independent pediatrics. Along the way, Dr. Hirsch makes a compelling case that thoughtful design of spaces, systems, and relationships can improve both the patient experience and the sustainability of pediatric care.
