“I try to focus on is bringing the right balance between population health on one side and precision medicine or personalized care on the other side. With population health what you essentially try to do is decrease the variations in care. Whereas, with precision medicine for that N of 1, you’re trying to increase the variations”

“Healthcare is moving from paternalistic care to more of a participatory care approach. I think that’s very important not just because we’re dealing with the specifics of what we as clinicians believe is in the best interest of that person, patient, etc., but what’s in the best interest of that human being”
