Dr. Alicia Kurtz completed her Emergency Medicine residency at UCSF Fresno in central California, where she and her co-chiefs started “Real Talk” – a story telling experience that allows providers the opportunity to process the more human aspects of working of healthcare. Since then, she has traveled around the country training groups to use Real Talk in improving the provider experience at their sites. Alicia is an engaging, experienced, and energetic public speaker.
