Dr. Grace Torres-Hodges: Private Practice Solutions, Direct Care, Physician Autonomy, and More

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 07:00:00 -0600

Welcome Dr. Grace Torres-Hodges to She's a DPM!

Dr. Torres-Hodges is a physician, author, speaker and mentor.

She is passionate about the Direct Care movement and how she is able to first serve her patients and secondly educate others on how to save the individual physician private practice.

Dr. Torres- Hodges is a board certified podiatric physician and surgeon who started Torres Hodges Podiatry, in 2001 and transitioned to a 100% direct care specialty practice in 2017. She went into medicine to treat patients, and believe that anything that gets between doctors and their ability to do that for their patient is part of the problem. She co-founded D2PMedicus Consulting, to educate and coach physicians as they change their perspectives and transition out of a broken healthcare system.

She recently published Private Practice Solution: Reclaiming Physician Autonomy and Restoring the Doctor-Patient Relationship which we discuss in this episode.

IG: @podmedadventures

podmedadventures@gmail.com

About Guest:
Dr. Shalvi Prasad founded PodMedAdventures in the hopes of spreading awareness about Podiatric Medicine and Surgery as a career option and to create a one-stop shop for pre-pods, current students, practicing physicians, and industry leaders. Working with underserved communities on an interdisciplinary team is near and dear to her heart and she strives to help patients as a physician and advocate in legislation. Dr. Prasad is interested in politics and legislation because it’s important to not only advocate for

patients, but that it’s necessary to be proactive about the future of the profession and to ensure that the best bills and laws are being put into action by those who will be impacted most. Shalvi believes that recruitment is

important because the field needs more representation, visibility, and value. Dr. Prasad stumbled onto the career when she worked as a pre-health student advisor. After being an Emergency Department scribe, managing and volunteering at clinics, and shadowing throughout her undergraduate career and during her gap years, she quickly realized that Podiatric Medicine was the “hidden gem” of medicine. Dr. Prasad wants to build visibility, inclusion, and representation within the Podiatric Medicine field. Dr. Shalvi Prasad founded PodMedAdventures in the hopes of
