We talk about the importance of overcoming a victim mindset. We talk about the disconnect happening in the medical field right now and how Dr. Stancic is working to make an impact on young medical professionals. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. ==== Dr. Stancic, is triple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, and Lifestyle Medicine.
