    "Direct care is value-based care." | Dr. Farhaad Riyaz
    Dec 29 2023
    Episode 002 | Farhaad Riyaz, MD on Medicine, Business, and the Value of StorytellingIn this episode, my friend and fellow direct care dermatologist, Dr. Riyaz, shares his journey from medical school to the innovative direct care practice that he launched in 2023. He sheds light on the pivotal influences in his life, the intersection of medicine, business, and journalism in his professional pursuits, and the transformative power of storytelling. He reflects on the rewards of his service-based approach that allows him to build deeper relationships with patients and how he seeks out value in his practice while maintaining uncompromised patient care standards. Reflecting on what direct care means to him, he provides us with an engaging and thought provoking reframe of direct care as value-based care. This contrasts starkly with the web of bureaucracy and alphabet soup that I imagine many of you think of when you hear the phrase "value-based care".Dr. Farhaad Riyaz, MD, FAAD, is a distinguished dermatologist and Mohs micrographic & reconstructive surgeon. He excelled in his medical studies at the Medical College of Virginia, securing first place in his class and serving as President of the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. Dr. Riyaz's expertise includes skin cancer, Mohs surgery, complex facial reconstruction, cosmetics, hair disorders, and clinical trials. His training included internships and residencies in Michigan, a fellowship at Northwestern University, and business school at the University of Chicago. In 2023, Dr. Riyaz founded a direct care dermatology practice in Michigan, focused on commitment to patient care and medical excellence.If you enjoy this, the best way to support the continued production of more content like it is to subscribe/follow and leave an honest review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.
