Ep022: Dr. Jay Parkinson on Creating Dr. Virtualist
Manage episode 174450893 series 1266808
Many can claim to be doctors. But only one can officially claim the moniker “The Doctor of the Future”…and that's my good friend and guest for today, Dr. Jay Parkinson. He has graced the covers of some of the most recognized magazines and presented on the worlds most prestigious stages. He possesses an unusual blend of doctor, technologist, and designer, and combines them in unusual ways to help heal our ailing medical system.
Over a decade ago Dr. Parkinson took a leap of faith. Having just wrapped up his residency in pediatrics and preventative medicine, he entered a strange universe where technology was becoming deeply integrated into the fabric of our daily lives. The iPhone had just been released, and video technology was just starting to gain mainstream adoption.
So what does a fresh-out-of-residency doctor do? Using only his laptop, email, Google and a friendly personality, Dr. Parkinson did what most others could not imagine…he made medical house calls out of his apartment in Brooklyn. Overnight, Dr. Parkinson became a media sensation as the face of the future of medicine, and is considered a pioneer in a burgeoning billion-dollar market called, telemedicine. Today he is the Co-Founder of Sherpaa, an on-demand, next generation medical practice.
Today, we get personal and discuss it all in this episode. Dr. Parkinson walks us through his early influences on design, his infamous backyard parties in Brooklyn, the untold struggles and obstacles he faced for his early ventures, what he believes to be the doctor of the future, and even delve into the future of primary care. So sit back and enjoy the conversation as you listen to today’s episode.
Now, That’s Unusual.
