Why are Swiss citizens living years longer than Americans—while U.S. physicians are burning out faster than ever?

This week on The Independent Physician’s Blueprint, we break down how Switzerland—yes, the land of chocolate, Alps, and precision—has quietly built one of the longest-living populations in the world. With a decentralized, nurse-driven healthcare model and a population just shy of 9 million, they’re doing something right. And it might just hold the key to fixing what’s broken in American medicine—and in your own practice.

  • Discover how the Swiss model could help reduce your stress and extend your career.
  • Learn why more nurses and smaller systems might be exactly what physicians need.
  • See how applying these principles can help you build long-term wealth and longevity—inside and outside of your medical practice.

Tap play and uncover what Switzerland’s doing differently—and how it could change the way you practice, live, and thrive.
