Description

Welcome to Season 2 of Catalyze, a podcast from the Morehead-Cain Foundation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

As we shared during our first season, Catalyze features stories of values-driven leadership. This season we’ve chosen to highlight lives of service.

Our first episode this season is a conversation with Dr. Amir Barzin ’06, a Persian-Texan who works in family medicine at UNC. After attending Carolina as a Morehead-Cain, Dr. Barzin worked as a law-clerk and an EMT before earning a master's in medical science and then a DO: which stands for doctor in osteopathic medicine. We dive into what that means, during our conversation.

Today, Dr. Barzin is the director of UNC's Family Medicine Center, director of UNC Urgent Care, and director of Family Medicine In-Patient Service.
