Dr. Kai Romero is an emergency and palliative care physician who recently became the head of clinical success at <a href="https://evidently.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Evidently</a>, a cognitive AI platform powered by clinical data. Previously, Kai worked at <a href="https://bythebayhealth.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">By the Bay Health</a>, where she began as a hospice physician before moving into a leadership role as chief medical officer.&nbsp;In this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker talks with Kai about her journey from those adrenaline-fueled days in the emergency room to the compassionate and complex world of palliative care. Kai discusses why she made the jump, how the two specialties overlap, and why ER doctors’ “soft skills” help them thrive in jobs outside of traditional medicine. She also makes the case that doctors in leadership roles should continue seeing patients and shares thoughts on empathy, physician identity, and the doctor-patient relationship.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;🩺 Offcall is more than a platform — it’s a community. <a href="https://how-i-doctor.captivate.fm/community" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join today!</a>For a full transcript of this episode click <a href="https://www.offcall.com/learn/podcast/dr-kai-romero-s-journey-from-emergency-medicine-to-palliative-care-to-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a>Find all episodes of How I Doctor at<a href="https://offcall.com/podcas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://offcall.com/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">offcall.com/podcast </a>or subscribe on your favorite podcast player at <a href="https://episodes.fm/1767429315" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://episodes.fm/1767429315</a>.In this episode, Graham and Kai discuss:04:34 Hospice and Emergency Medicine Parallels07:14 Exploring Empathy&nbsp;12:15 Balancing Clinical Practice and Leadership14:16 Maximizing Patient Care18:09 Relationships in Care
