Physicians have a unique opportunity and responsibility to advocate for policies that advance patient care, improve public health and strengthen the health care system. This month in Louisville Medicine, we’re reading about our members’ personal journeys with advocacy and how it has shaped their perspectives on practicing medicine. 

While originally planning to enter business, Dr. Pancholi got a new perspective after travelling the world for 6 months post-grad and upon return entered medical school. Read more about his travels, love of connecting with patients, and journey to his role at Baptist Health Urgent Care in this month’s Dr. Who.
