In this episode of the Healthcare Plus Podcast, host Dan Collard sits down with Quint Studer to launch a new short series previewing the upcoming conference, Rewiring Healthcare: Foundation to Future (April 28–29, Atlanta), and to explore why healthcare must rethink how leaders are developed in today’s environment.

After years of workforce disruption, turnover, and rapid change, healthcare organizations are operating with thinner experience pipelines and leaders who are being promoted into complexity they were never trained for. Studer and Collard make the case for rewiring—not abandoning what worked in the past, but giving leaders permission to change how leadership development, training, and learning actually happen.

At the center of the conversation is Precision Leader Development™, a personalized approach inspired by precision medicine. Rather than one-size-fits-all leadership training, leaders are developed based on how they learn, what skills they need now, and the realities of their role, experience level, and environment—making development more usable, focused, and sustainable.

The conversation also explores why in-person connection still matters, the “magic in the hallways” that virtual platforms can’t replace, and how the conference is designed to be accessible, practical, and immediately applicable—including hands-on post-conference working sessions that help teams turn learning into action.

Listeners will learn:

• Why traditional leadership development models no longer work
• How Precision Leader Development personalizes growth instead of overwhelming leaders
• Why rewiring is about permission, not replacement
• How connection and community drive resilience and performance
• What makes Rewiring Healthcare: Foundation to Future different from typical conferences

This episode sets the foundation for a conference built around real-world leadership, practical learning, and sustainable change.
