Neeraj shares his journey from Mumbai to the United States, compares the Indian and American healthcare systems and explains why independent practices need more attention in health administration programs. Drawing on years of experience in higher education, he tackles artificial intelligence in the classroom, grade inflation and the pressure to keep students engaged in an online world.
