Dr. Brian Goldman is a highly regarded emergency physician at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.  He is also the host of the CBC’s award-winning radio show “White Coat, Black Art”, and podcast “The Dose” where he takes listeners behind the scenes of hospitals and doctor’s offices.  Goldman unpacks and demystifies what goes on inside medicine’s sliding doors – with edgy topics that include the whistle blowing in health care, burnout among health professionals, racism in health care and how to getting to the head of the line in health care. In his book, The Power of Teamwork, Dr. Goldman examines healthcare’s embrace of a new teamwork model that has been noticed by people outside the medical world, and demonstrates how a team approach to medicine can improve all aspects of the industry. | view profile
