How to Keep Physicians in Clinical Medicine by Creating Autonomy Through Local and State Legislative Action

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Marcelo Hochman this past week: he is President of Independent Doctors of South Carolina, a double Board-certified head, neck, and facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, founder of Charleston’s Facial Surgery Center, and Past President of the Charleston County Medical Society.   Dr. Hochman is on a mission to put the power of choice back into the hands of patients and physicians. By founding Independent Doctors of South Carolina (IndeDocs) Dr. Hochman promotes the independent practice of medicine to improve patient experiences and ensure that patients and physicians have alternatives and access to high-quality, doctor-driven care.   Discussion Questions:

• How does IndeDocs help physicians retain autonomy and independence?
• In what ways have you been able to positively impact physicians legislative changes in South Carolina?
• What role does Autonomy and Independence play in mitigating Burnout today in medicine?
• How can physicians become involved in local advocacy to create more options for clinical practice?
