This week marked National Women Physicians Day, and we were excited to celebrate just a few of the many remarkable women physicians who appeared on Offcall this past year, as well as those who regularly show up for their patients and advocate for progress across the profession. At Offcall, we’re working toward a future where every physician, regardless of gender, has access to transparency, leverage, and support, and we’ll continue to do our part to amplify the work of the incredible women who are carrying that legacy forward. 💪

🎙️This week on How I Doctor: We were very excited to welcome Dr. Lisa Rosenbaum, one of the most respected physician-writers in medicine who’s on a mission to fix primary care by restoring respect, trust, and professional values to the specialty. Lisa is a practicing cardiologist, thought leader at NEJM, and someone who’s spent her entire career interrogating what medicine truly values. In this deeply honest conversation with Dr. Graham Walker, she unpacks:
🧭 Why primary care is the moral and structural center of medicine
🤝 How losing clear ownership of the patient fragments care and undermines trust
📊 Why metrics, throughput, and “efficiency” often punish the very doctors doing the right thing
💡 Why fixing primary care isn’t about more technology, but restoring professional values, trust, and cultural respect
🩺 What concierge and independent models reveal about autonomy, accountability, and better care
This is a conversation every physician should hear, because how we treat primary care cuts to the heart of what we value when it comes to care, expertise, and responsibility in all of medicine.
