Keynote speakers give attendees an opportunity to hear from individuals whose breadth and vision extend beyond our specialty and inform us on the broader health care environment. This year’s speakers share their personal experiences as cancer patients.
Bobby Mukkamala, MD, is a board-certified otolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon and president of the American Medical Association. He is in a solo, private practice in Flint, Michigan. Dr. Mukkamala was diagnosed in 2024 with a grade 2 glioma after experiencing aphasia at an AMA meeting.
Bryant Lin, MD, MEng, is a primary care physician, educator and researcher. The cornerstone of Dr. Lin’s work is keeping medicine focused on humans – patients, providers, families and trainees – and not lost in technology and algorithms. Dr. Lin himself was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer (non-small cell lung cancer) in 2024 and started a Stanford Medical School course centered around his case.
