Dr. Schafer's guest today is Danica Q. Pruett, MD, CMQ. She is a Board-certified anesthesiologist with ample experience in different kinds of practices. After her first decade in private practice, she decided to mix her adventurous personality with her love of meeting new people. Being a traveler physician suited her well. She has multiple state licenses and travels both in and out of her state of residence to work. When not working at an academic center, she finds opportunities to meet medical students and residents at medical conventions, medical society events, and even on medical social media.
Dr. Pruett must keep up with laws for healthcare in each state, credentialing policies for different hospitals and state medical boards, and the diverse technology used in each place, including AI/ML (Artificial intelligence machine learning). Dr. Pruett jumps at the opportunity to help the committee and/or research teams, even if her time in each job is limited. This immense exposure gives her the ability to start any new job easily and work expeditiously. It also has helped her coach many peers regarding the Locum Tenens physician’s (“traveler physician”) life.

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.
