Fluency with clinical pathway design, evidence-based standardization, clinical analytics, and physician-facing performance dashboards. Working knowledge of MSO, capitation and shared savings constructs. Influence-driven physician leadership at scale; able to drive change across hundreds of independent and affiliated providers without formal authority.
