Leadership at a glance with Dr. Kuljit Kapur

Dr. Kapur traces her path from early work in nursing homes to becoming a physician triple-boarded in internal medicine, geriatrics, and hospice & palliative care—and why she later added an MBA to connect “business and clinical.” She unpacks lessons from serving as medical director and CMO in hospice, her current role as Chief Development Officer at Chestnut Health, and how she builds rehab and symptom-management programs while mentoring nurse practitioners. We discuss physician education around medical cannabis, the tension between margins and quality, staffing ratios, and building sustainable models of care. Dr. Kapur also shares candid career hurdles (residency, exams, parenting), frameworks for resilience and self-compassion, and the leadership habits that now guide her: protect your energy, choose mentors wisely, and lead as a collaborative navigator. Finally, she opens up about side projects—from med-tech board work (including an airway device heading to FDA review) to low-risk real-estate plays—and how aligning work with family life powers long-term success.
