Francesca Matthews

Hello, this is Francesca Matthews with the Becker's ASC Review Podcast.

I'm thrilled to be joined today by Dr. Randy Robbins, President of Valiant Anesthesia Associates.

Randy, thank you so much for being here today.

Great.

To start us off, could you please introduce yourself and just tell us a little bit about your background?

All right, lots of experiences here to kind of inform your perspective.

Yeah, we love when, you know, folks have an array of experiences to be able to contribute to our conversations here.

Kind of just jumping straight into it, what are the top three trends that you're following in healthcare and ASCs today?

Yeah, those things definitely ring true.

Just thinking about the conversations I have here at Becker's every day, that anesthesia component.

I think even those who are optimistic can recognize that you just can't really turn out that many new graduates in a short amount of time.

And so a lot of our conversations, I think, have been focused on kind of what we're doing in the meantime at the kind of facility level.

And on that note, what are you most excited about right now on the other end of this conversation?

Absolutely.

I also write for our position leadership line.

And there's definitely, you know, I think kind of a

younger generation of physicians that are starting to come in.

And a lot of those conversations, I think, are kind of starting to happen about how can we, you know, sort of close the gap between where physician leadership maybe is now and where we want it to be in the next 10 years, given the very rapid changes in healthcare, AI, all that.

Super interesting you say that.

Yeah.
