Cristina brings a seasoned administrative lens to one of medicine’s toughest problems: supporting clinicians while running a sustainable organization. She and Dr. Tudor unpack post-pandemic burnout, the human cost of KPI-driven decisions, and what it really takes to care for rural communities where a basic specialist visit can mean hours of travel or months of waiting. They dig into practical ideas—from tele-triage with dermatology to mobile services—and why leadership in healthcare works best when clinicians and administrators share the table. Cristina also opens up about her own path (receptionist → quality & patient safety → COO), learning from difficult career moments, and why persistence, curiosity, and “stepping into discomfort” shaped her voice as a leader. She’s now pursuing a doctorate in leadership psychology and speaking/writing through Change Works Consulting to help teams process trauma, rebuild trust, and do work that lasts.
