Dr. Nilesh Kalyanaraman is the new Health Officer of Anne Arundel County and he joined me on this podcast to discuss how everyday health care professionals can get involved in the civic space. Have we as healthcare professionals ceded our civic space to to politicians to talk about patient related health issues? In this conversation with Dr. Nilesh Kalyanaraman we discuss how civic engagement has the highest fidelity towards how healthcare professionals can become social entrepreneurs. High Points for the show include: Respect in the civic space is earned due to sheer hard work Its the job of local officials to listen to you, it's your job to speak up Using your passion to ignite actions towards civic engagement We have to begin to identify ourselves as thought leaders in the sociopolitical spaces and own it! Dr. Nilesh walks us through his journey and offers tips and tools on a way forward for you as well.
