From Finance to ARPA-H: Dr. Rafid Fadul on Equity, Access, and Simple Tech

From finance to frontline care, Dr. Rafid Fadul’s journey is anything but conventional.

In this episode, Dr. Rafid Fadul, founder of Zivian Health and incoming Chief Medical Officer of ARPA-H, discusses how a late-college realization about equity and impact led him to leave finance and pursue medicine. He shares how, during his residency and MBA program, he was introduced to digital health through a capstone project focused on improving access to care in post-war Iraq using simple mobile phone–based solutions. Dr. Fadul reflects on how this early experience demonstrated the power of technology to overcome systemic barriers and shaped his career across academic medicine, digital health innovation, and healthcare leadership.

Tune in to hear how purpose, access, and innovation intersect in Dr. Fadul’s vision for the future of healthcare.
