The Testing Psychologist Podcast
Jul 23, 2026
Dr. Jeremy Sharp, a licensed psychologist and group practice owner, reviews Blueprint AI, a relatively new AI-driven EHR with a unique session-based pricing model (free tier, $0.99–$1.49 per session). Sharp conducts a hands-on walkthrough of onboarding, settings, client management, assessment delivery, note-writing, and billing, highlighting strong UX design and form templates but identifying critical gaps for testing practices: poor add-on code handling, lack of note auto-population, no to-do list, and difficulty inviting practice staff.
Off the Chart: A Business of Medicine Podcast
Jul 23, 2026
Dr. Lisa Rotenstein, a primary care physician and director of the Center for Physician Experience and Practice Excellence at UCSF, discusses her landmark study on sex differences in physician attrition. The research reveals that female physicians leave clinical practice at a median age of 49 compared to 64 for male colleagues—a 15-year gap that persists across specialties and settings. Rotenstein explores root causes including pay inequities, disproportionate unpaid administrative burden, and caregiving demands, while proposing solutions such as alternative payment models, AI-assisted documentation tools, and greater physician control over workflow.
Jul 22, 2026
Dr. Jim Turner and Justin Harvey discuss Trump Accounts (530A accounts), a new government program launched July 4, 2025, that provides $1,000 in government funding for children born during Trump's tenure (2025-2028) and allows parents to contribute up to $5,000 annually. The hosts explore the mechanics of these child-owned accounts, their similarities to traditional IRAs, tax implications including basis tracking, and where they fit in a savings hierarchy relative to 529 plans, Roth IRAs, and other investment vehicles. They address who should consider these accounts, behavioral finance concerns around giving large sums to 18-year-olds, and the importance of aligning account decisions with personal financial goals and values.
Dr. Michael Ming demonstrates how to use AI tools (specifically Claude) to transform a single forwarded email into actionable business validation. He walks through a real example where he forwarded an AMA article about the 97% physician interest in wearable health data integration (versus only 6% actual adoption) to Claude, which returned a market analysis, three ranked business models, and identified gaps in the article itself—all within minutes. The episode covers remote patient monitoring services, cash-pay wearable review clinics, and B2B data interpretation services, plus the legal considerations physicians should explore before launching.

Dr. Matt Hill explores the four foundational pillars that determine patient conversion to care plans before parents even arrive for their report of findings. He argues that day-two conversion success is predetermined by relatability, trust, connection, and authority established throughout the entire patient journey—from marketing through day one consultation. The episode challenges conventional conversion frameworks built for adult back pain practices and provides a systematic approach for family chiropractors to commit complex pediatric cases to care.
Kim Cunningham, a healthcare attorney and owner of Cunningham Law, discusses critical legal mistakes physicians must avoid when starting private practices. The episode covers federal compliance frameworks (HIPAA, Stark, anti-kickback), employment contract review, state-specific regulations, and essential legal documents including membership agreements, consent forms, and opt-out procedures. Cunningham emphasizes the importance of engaging specialized healthcare attorneys early in the startup process and cautions against relying on AI for legal advice.
