This episode is Part 1 of 2 of a terrific conversation I had with Dr. Kyle Leggott, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, University of Colorado Department of Family Medicine, and Scholar, Eugene S. Farley, Jr. Health Policy Center, about the complex issues surrounding GME financing and the current state of the physician workforce.
In Part I, you’ll hear Dr. Leggott’s insights into:
- The current state of the physician workforce.
- His work with the GME Initiative and legislators in D.C. to find systematic solutions.
- The mismatch between specialties and healthcare needs.
- How the number of GME slots is allocated per region and what this means for ongoing physician workforce distribution.
- Insufficient diversity across all areas of GME and healthcare.How to address gaps in medical knowledge as healthcare evolves.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
