"The Surgeon as Entrepreneur" featuring Dr. Alejandro Badia '85
OpenMike Comment from Robert Abrams
I am looking for a service that provides centralized medical claims processing for patients. Ideally I would like to find such a service that already exists, but if it doesn't, I am looking for people with whom to create such a service.


OpenMike Comment from Kathy Deng
Kathy Deng graduated from Cornell University in 2005 with a double major in biology with a concentration in cell and molecular biology and psychology with a concentration in social psychology. After college, she worked for a year as an assistant to a cardiologist. She is currently a 2nd year medical student at New York Medical College. This past summer she participated in a fellowship in GI at Westchester Medical Center, shadowing the chief of GI, and working on a research project pertaining to Hepatitis C.

Having worked for many years in health and services related mergers & acquisitions, I would enjoy speaking with firms who are beginning to think about their eventual exit strategies.

OpenMike Comment from Kamal Ramani
I started my own medical practice in midtown Manhattan 18 months ago. While it has successfully grown, I have face many unnecessary obstacles on the way and would like some insight on how to avoid them in the future.


OpenMike Comment from Randye Ringler
Our organization is developing baseball in India, beginning in Manipur, and welcomes those interested in helping us with our health initiative there as well. A documentary is being filmed in conjunction with the project, First Pitch: The US Manipur Baseball Project. MLB is currently there with coaches.

Glad to engage the entrepreneurial efforts of the medical community after 7 years of running a counseling department and bio-ethics committee at a hospice in Niagara County.
