About This Podcast

Building Bridges is a podcast created by the Butler University Doctor of Medical Science Bridge Program to support and inspire physician associates and the healthcare community as they elevate themselves and the profession. Through thoughtful conversations and diverse perspectives, we connect clinicians, educators, and leaders across disciplines to explore what's next in healthcare, leadership, education, and innovation.


We aim to build bridges between education and action, clinical practice and policy, and individual purpose and collective impact. With inclusion, equity, and lifelong learning. At our core, we aim to spark dialogue that encourages bold thinking, collaboration, and progress. In an ever-changing healthcare landscape, our mission is to ignite curiosity, foster connection, and empower new generation of leaders to imagine what's possible.
