Tell us about yourself, how long you’ve been practicing, and why you love your job or a fun fact!

My name is Kyle Brownback, MD. I am a pulmonary and critical care physician. I have been in practice for 9 years.  I love my job because of the variety of roles that I play and the long-term relationships that I develop with my patients.  A fun fact is that I am a barbeque connoisseur. 

How long have you been a member of OpinionSite and what is your favorite part about participating in our research? 

I have been a member for 4 years.  My favorite part of participating in their research is learning about potential new types of medicines or devices. I also enjoy reflecting on the decisions I make as a clinician, and how those decisions impact my patients and the medical community in general.

What is one thing you want other health care professionals to know about OpinionSite or participating in paid research?

OpinionSite has efficient surveys that make good use of your time and do not have overly time-consuming screening process.  I think the amount of education I receive on up-and-coming medications and medical devices advances my own knowledge and helps me to be a better physician.

What made you decide to become a Physician?

I have always enjoyed the sciences and believed that being a physician was a way to translate my love of sciences into better health to those in my community.

How do you redeem your points and how do you spend your earned points?

Mostly by paypal to buy sporting equipment for my children.

What is one thing you’d like to tell your younger self when you were in residency?

Be resilient and attempt to retain as much from your clinical experiences as possible.
