Pamela Wible, M.D., is a family physician born into a family of physicians. Her parents warned her not to pursue medicine. She followed her heart only to discover that to heal her patients she had to first heal her profession. So she led a series of town hall meetings where she invited citizens to design their ideal clinic. Celebrated since 2005, Wible's pioneering model has sparked a populist movement that has inspired Americans to create ideal clinics and hospitals nationwide. Dr. Wible is the founder of the Ideal Medical Care Movement and has been named one of the 2015 Women Leaders in Medicine by the American Medical Student Association for her pioneering contributions to medical student and physician suicide prevention. An expert in patient-centered care, Dr. Wible has been interviewed by CNN, ABC, CBS, and is a frequent guest on NPR.
