Your Host

Sarah Matt, MD, MBA

Physician. Executive. Strategist. Dr. Sarah Matt has built, advised, and scaled healthcare programs inside the systems most consultants only study from the outside. The Clinical Realist brings that perspective directly to founders, executives, and clinicians who need to know what actually works — not what looks good in a whitepaper.

What You'll Hear

No Keynote Optimism. Just Clinical Realism.

Every episode applies the same standard: if the strategy doesn't survive contact with a real health system, real budget cycle, or real patient panel, it doesn't make the show.

AI in Clinical Settings

What actually gets adopted, what gets shelved, and why the gap between the two almost never shows up in vendor decks.

Healthcare Strategy

Policy, payment reform, and care delivery transformation — decoded for the people who have to execute on it, not just write about it.

The Physician-Executive View

What it looks like when you've been both clinician and executive — and why that seat produces a fundamentally different read on every healthcare debate.
