The Unexpected Deaths of Two Physician Friends (Dr. Corey Martin: Part 1)

Corey opens up about an incredibly powerful story of how the death of two fellow physicians changed his life forever. He also talks about taking on a CMO role after 5 years of practice.
Corey Martin is a Yale-trained family physician driven to change the delivery of healthcare and improve the mental and physical health of our communities. He is a founder of the Bounce Back Project (www.bouncebackproject.org), practicing private group physician, Bush Fellow, former Chief Medical Officer and lead physician in Allina Health’s response to clinician burnout.
