Dr. Arlen Meyers MD, Founder, President and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, speaks with Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast. In this episode, they discuss updating medical school curriculum, the rise of digital health, important business factors healthcare entrepreneurs should consider and more.   Episode Highlights: What is Arlen’s background and how did he transition into entrepreneurship? Why did he start the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs (SoPE) and what industry problem is he trying to solve? Arlen highlights how someone can tell if he/she has an entrepreneurial mindset before trying to commercialize an idea. How does the current healthcare system discourage innovation and entrepreneurship? Arlen talks about how he’d change medical school education. What is the importance of exposing medical students to digital health? What are some of the problems the healthcare industry is facing when it comes to innovation? Arlen describes a “failure resume.” What is “fail it, nail it, scale it and sale it”? Arlen explains the meaning of “compassionate capitalism.” What is the mission of SoPE and how can you join?   3 Key Points: Medical professionals are not taught to have an entrepreneurial mindset. Entrepreneurship is not just about creating businesses. The healthcare industry is not currently set up to support entrepreneurship.   Tweetable Quotes: “What got you to where you are now will not get you to where you want to go. So what you did to become an anesthesiologist or a ketamine infusion center director will not get you to where you want to go if you want to pursue entrepreneurship.” – Dr. Arlen Meyers “What entrepreneurship is about is creating user-defined value through the deployment of innovation using a viable business model.” – Dr. Arlen Meyers   Resources Mentioned: Society of Physician Entrepreneurs website: https://sopenet.org/ Socials: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Sopenet/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sopeofficial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/917937/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SoPEVideo/featured Dr. Arlen Meyers Socials: Twitter: https://twitter.com/arlenmd?lang=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ameyers/   #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurialmindset #innovation #digitalhealth

In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by Arlen Meyers, MD, MBA and professor emeritus of otolaryngology, dentistry and engineering at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Colorado School of Public Health. Meyers is also the president and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs and has authored several books and articles related to healthcare entrepreneurship and innovation. Key quote: (25:53) “If you don't innovate, it's unlikely that you will be successful in the future as a physician in a medical group practice. It's that simple. Your revenue stream will dry up. You may get burned out or dissatisfied. You will not be able to deliver the mission that you signed up for, which basically was to help take care of patients at scale. And your organization will fail. … So you can either watch the train go down the tracks or you can create your own future.” Here are some links and references related to this week’s show: * Why We Need More Physician Entrepreneurs (bit.ly/2DiDQmH) * Barriers to Physician Entrepreneurship (bit.ly/2XZs0aR) * 20 Inspiring Entrepreneurs Improving Health For All (bit.ly/37Go7vL) * Innerpreneurs, entrepreneurs, wannapreneurs and intrapraneurs (bit.ly/2DiVvKX) * 5 Myths About Becoming A Physician Entrepreneur (bit.ly/2OkUsjY) * 4 Ways Entrepreneurs Can Innovate in the Healthcare Space (bit.ly/2qEzuDV) If you like the show, please rate and review it wherever you get your podcasts.

  A lot of people in science, engineering, and health professions have a good idea but they don’t know what to do with it. Maybe they had two or three good ideas that just went down the drain. How do you translate your idea into something that creates value for a patient? According to Arlen Meyers, the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs is a global biomedical and clinical innovation and entrepreneurship network whose mission is to help members get their ideas to patients. Arlen is the president and CEO of the said society.

He’s the President and CEO of the (https://www.cobrt.com/radio-podcast/) . He’s a professor emeritus of Otolaryngology, Dentistry and Engineering at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Arlen, thank you for taking your time to be here. Thanks for having me. Tell me a little bit about what you’re doing with the Society of Physicians and who you serve. The Society of Physicians Entrepreneurs is a global biomedical and clinical innovation and entrepreneurship network. Our mission is to help our members, which are fairly eclectic, to get their ideas to patients. Everyone I know in science, engineering, and health professions have a good idea but they don’t know what to do with it. Typically, it goes down the drain in the shower. Maybe you had two or three good ideas and they went down the drain. How do you translate the idea into something that creates value for a patient? That process, which we refer to in sick care have a $3.2 trillion healthcare spending, which is masquerading as a sick care system. 90% of the budget goes toward taking care of sick people. I’m a recovery Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon. I spent my career at the Anschutz Medical Campus in the University of Colorado School of Medicine teaching people how to do surgery on that stuff. I’ve had a fairly complicated medical career. I didn’t like the idea of how this was playing out in terms of innovation. I felt that for a very long time and to a certain extent now, the two most important components of the innovation supply chain, the doctor and the patient, were ignored. It was the biomedical industrial complex that came up with bright shiny objects and said, “These are great. Why don’t you buy them for this ridiculous cost?” Now, we wind up with high-cost, low-value stuff. Why? Because of a number of reasons, but one of them is because we didn’t engage end users early enough in what is described as design thinking, lean startup methodology, consumer engagement and customer discovery. I didn’t like that, I thought that was stupid. I decided with some other folks to do something about it. When did you decide? This is something that I had been involved with for a long time. I graduated from business school in 1984. In those days, having someone with a white coat sitting next to pinstripes was rare. I’ve always had this bug about the business of science and medicine. Part of it comes from my background. My dad was a pharmacist, he was a son of an immigrant. It was a great generation, depression to immigration, the whole drill. He worked like a dog and was the embodiment of the American dream. We lived in a nice house. I took a look at that and said, “Maybe that’s where this entrepreneurial thing came from.” My first job was working in his corner store. He...
