Title: The Dochitect – Where Medicine & Architecture Meet

Podcast Excerpt:

“And I realized that I didn’t think I could work in places that didn’t support  how I worked”

Dr Diana Anderson is an Internal Medicine physician and trained Architect. Having the unique opportunity to view the healthcare environment though the lens’ of being both a physician and architect provides an incredible viewpoint on the world of healthcare. Dr Anderson is the founder of the website, dochitect.com, where the worlds of medicine and design collide.

Dr Anderson’s work is truly emblematic for everything this show represents in so far as it illustrates how physicians can add value in healthcare in a variety of ways.
