The 28th Annual Reza Gandjei Lecture Primary Care’s Moment: Crisis and Opportunity
Session Moderated by Bob Wachter
Primary care sits at an inflection point, strained by workforce shortages, administrative burden, and rising patient complexity. This year’s Reza Gandjei Lecture will explore the forces driving fragmentation and burnout, as well as how emerging models and redesigned workflows offer a path forward. The session will begin with brief presentations by the speakers, followed by a panel discussion bringing together perspectives from primary care delivery, digital transformation, and workforce sustainability.
This lecture series is in memory of Reza Gandjei, a UCSF medicine resident who passed away soon after training. Reza was a Marshall and Rhodes Scholar with a passion for healthcare ethics and policy.
