“As a medical student, it’s hard to find time to stay current on all of the new innovations in the field. The Raise the Line episodes are just a quick 20-25 minutes that I can squeeze into my morning commute, which helps me stay much more connected to the work.
I have learned so much about issues that I never really consider in my day-to-day. I remember feeling so moved after hearing episode 232, where they discussed the Archangels project that is working to support unpaid caregivers. It was really powerful to hear about the family members and friends who take care of people with daily medical needs. These folks contribute so much to healthcare, but are never seen or recognized! In episode 130, I learned about Cityblock, which is a program to provide value-based care to low-income folks on Medicaid through behavior change and building trust. I had heard of value-based care in one of my classes, but this podcast highlighted its impact and meaning.
Our healthcare system is so complex, but Raise the Line breaks it down into really digestible pieces that leave you with a lot to think about! I also love that Dr. Desai ends every episode asking his speakers to “fill the knowledge gap.” It’s wonderful to hear a wide range of advice and feel optimistic that I am working towards a better healthcare system. The topics are really relevant to all of our lives - definitely check it out!”
