In this episode of The Interesting MD Podcast, Dr. Rob Beck speaks with Dr. Teresa Purzner, a neurosurgeon and developmental neurobiologist whose work is transforming how pediatric brain tumor care is delivered.
Dr. Purzner shares how she applied startup-style design thinking to identify and solve major inefficiencies in patient care pathways. By engaging patients, families, clinicians, and administrators, her team developed simple, low-cost solutions that significantly improved access to treatment, reduced delays, and enhanced patient outcomes.
The conversation also explores innovation in healthcare, the challenges of system change, balancing research and clinical work, and why meaningful improvements don’t always require massive new resources.
A fascinating episode for anyone interested in healthcare innovation, leadership, and creating better experiences for both patients and providers.
