Who Is Rob Rodgers and What Is Medutopia?

Our Pulmcast team sat down with Dr. Rob Rogers enthusiast of all things medical education to pick his brain on why medical education is so BAD and what you and I can do to make it better - what we can do to change the world and make our medutopia.


Medutopia

Medutopia is a company that Rob Rogers started that has evolved into a collection of resources, educators, and ideas - all with the end goal of equipping educators with tools they need to become a better educator and change the world.
