Chadi’s guest Kashyap Patel (@KashyappatelMd), MD, president of the Community Oncology Alliance (COA), joins the show to give an update on the current initiatives and state of COA and community oncology as a whole. He chronicles his journey to becoming a medical oncologist at a small community center outside of Charlotte (SC) and how he became aware of the pain points of community oncology in the U.S. The conversation moved into the history and initial aim of COA to help community practices prepare to work with and have an identity when facing policymakers, how COA membership dues are put to use, the top five problems facing community oncology today, and why many community practices feel compelled to sell to large health systems. Dr. Patel also shares his vision as the president of COA and what he hopes to accomplish before his term ends.
