Show Notes

Somnath Saha, MD, MPH is a general internist at the Portland VA Healthcare System, professor at Oregon Health and Science University, and former chair for the Oregon Health Services Commission. In this episode, he discusses why his career has been focused on research and influencing health policy on race / ethnicity in doctor / patient relationships and how it relates to racial disparities and the quality of patient care.  

"Success or winning the game is defined by three things. One is doing something you truly care about, that you are deeply passionate about. The second is finding something that you are uniquely suited to do, that you can do particularly well. And the third is that what you do should contribute something good to the world. And if you find the thing where you hit all three of those buttons, you have won the game."
