Dr Alex Lickerman

Episode #2 of Citizens of Jobland features Dr Alex Lickerman, CEO of Chicago-based provider of direct primary care ImagineMD. We discuss how the innovative DPC model addresses the needs of patients that the traditional fee for service method can't, as well as the ways it can potentially revolutionize healthcare. Dr Lickerman talks about what he learned in his 20 years practicing medicine at the University of Chicago, the challenges faced by primary care physicians in the US and how he strikes a balance between caring for patients, running his business and writing books on resilience.
