Dr. Laura Kaufman is a board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in obstetrical anesthesia. She has always had an interest in patient safety and quality improvement, participating in and leading quality committees and teams.

She became frustrated when the focus on quality by those around her did not match their attention to the financial aspects of care. When her employer became part of a new organization, she decided to begin her transition from full-time practice to part-time practice and consulting while completing her master\\u2019s degree in patient safety and healthcare quality at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

During our interview, Dr. Kaufman describes the factors she considered as she navigated this career transition.
