Panelists include: Daniel B. Wolfson, Executive Vice President and COO of the ABIM Foundation (American Board of Internal Medicine); Dr. Cynthia (Daisy) Smith, Vice President of Clinical Programs for the American College of Physicians; and Dr. Akshat Kumar, Attending Physician at Penn Medicine and current MBA Candidate at the Wharton School.
