Finding Success Around Dark Corners 

Success stories of accomplished people are all the rage, but how did they get over the hurdles? That's what Steve Busalacchi focuses on in this speech. Inspiration and laughs are a big part of what these physician story-tellers teach us.

This presentation includes audio segments from doctors featured in White Coat Wisdom.

Medical journalist and author Busalacchi discusses what he’s learned after extensive interviews with several dozen notable physicians featured in White Coat Wisdom: Extraordinary doctors talk about what they do, how they got there and why medicine is so much more than a job.

Steve discusses:

 How to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds
