A Healthcare Keynote Speaker … Who’s A Doctor?! And Funny?! Come On!
The healthcare system is ill, folks! The Quadruple Aim of healthcare—enhancing the patient experience, improving population health, reducing costs and increasing joy at work for those in the system—remains elusive. Healthcare professionals are dealing with monumental changes and incredible stress.
Watch this video clip … STAT!
Doctors are overburdened; physician burnout is an epidemic. Administrators are dealing with increased regulations and shrinking budgets. Nurses are understaffed and overworked; compassion fatigue is rampant. Everyone is so busy trying to do more with less that staff members feel disengaged and dissatisfied rather than valued and appreciated.
Quality and safety measures are paramount, with Joint Commission surprise surveys and patient satisfaction scores—whether through Press Ganey, HCAHPS or even Yelp!—determining accreditation, policy and reimbursement. Everyone’s worried about HIPAA and CMS and ROI and EMR and … OMG! Nobody is LOLing anymore!
Dr. Brad can’t cure the dysfunctional healthcare system all by himself, but he can get treatment started with just one house call as a healthcare keynote speaker. With his humor and insight, the comedian doctor can help healthcare professionals rediscover happiness at work, even among the myriad frustrations. And a little more satisfaction at work goes a long way toward:
reducing costs through reduced staff turnover, greater staff retention and less absenteeism
improving workforce productivity and performance
improving quality of care and patient satisfaction
increasing the bottom line!
“We hired Brad to speak at our annual healthcare conference … He knocked it out of the park! Post event surveys showed him as the highest rated speaker over our 3-day event.

“Humor at a health conference? What if it was cheesy and terrible? But the thing was, it wasn’t. Dr. Nieder was hilarious, and everybody laughed a lot. I even thought the guy next to me was going to fall out of his chair! And I took away important lessons … The Health Department deserves some real kudos for scheduling such a session. It was a terrific innovation to a traditional format, and one that was very well received indeed.

TOP MEDICAL & HEALTHCARE KEYNOTE SPEAKER BRAD NIEDER, MD, CSP*
Dr. Brad has been delivering motivational speeches for healthcare workers for nearly two decades! Yes, he likes to care for caregivers and heal the healers, so he’s perfect for events for front line health providers: nursing conferences, medical conventions (for all different medical specialties) and events to combat physician burnout. But administrators, coders, office assistants—indeed all healthcare professionals!—can benefit from his message. And patients can, too!
Dr. Brad has done it all … and he’s got the testimonials to prove it! Check out what clients have said about him as a health and wellness speaker and/or master of ceremonies in the following settings:
The funny doctor can be an opening speaker, a closing speaker or an after-dinner speaker. With over two decades of experience in the meetings and events industry, Dr. Brad WON’T deliver boring slides, goofy cartoons and marginally funny anecdotes like the standard keynote speaker. What you WILL get is audience interaction! You’ll get poetry! You can even earn continuing education units (CEUs)!
“Dr. Brad delivered the endnote on the first day of our national Clinician Well-Being Summit. And on a day when we led off with remarks from the U.S. Surgeon General and talked at length about ways to battle rising rates of clinician burnout, Brad’s performance was memorable for all the right reasons. He was funny, engaging, interactive, great to work with ... a breath of fresh air and the perfect closer for the day. His message of laughter being some of the best medicine came through loud and clear, and every participant appreciated it. Based on feedback we received, Brad hit that old axiom of show business: Always leave ‘em wanting more. We are so glad and grateful that Dr. Brad joined us, and I believe we’ll look for more opportunities to work with him.”
“Dr. Brad was our opening keynote speaker for TravCon 2022. He was just great! Our attendees - all healthcare travelers - gave him rave reviews. He “gets” the somewhat cynical and sardonic sense of humor common to working, clinical healthcare professionals. He had the room laughing from the very beginning. We never engage the same keynote in consecutive years, but I can imagine asking him to entertain our attendees again in the future. Don’t hesitate to hire Dr. Nieder as a keynote speaker. Everyone will thank you; no one will be disappointed.”

A Physician Motivational Speaker?! What?!
Yes! It’s true … even though it seems like an oxymoron! Doctors are usually dry and boring when they give lectures. Motivational speakers are usually annoying. But as a hybrid of the two species, Dr. Brad is different. The comedian doctor uses his humor and insight to uplift and motivate. Your audience will be engaged and inspired to improve well-being, embrace positivity, laugh more and increase their level of joy at work and in life … without the rah-rah-you-can-do-it cheerleading of the typical motivational speaker or the mind-numbing Power Point presentation (with citations and p-values!) of the usual physician.
No, Dr. Brad tickles the funny bone and gets audiences laughing at the humorous aspects of healthcare. Yes, there’s still humor in healthcare; it’s just sometimes hard to see among all the stressors and frustrations in the industry. Dr. Brad can help point it out by skewering such topics as healthcare lingo, diet plans, pharmaceutical ads, medical marijuana and scrubs. He can even help change perspective and get healthcare professionals to laugh at themselves!
And while his participants enjoy themselves, they actually learn something, like why laughter really is good medicine … for combating stress, improving resilience, feeling better and living longer. And Dr. Brad always dispenses wellness advice, too, though he does it in an entertaining manner unlike any other doctor.
The infectious laughter and learning have an uplifting effect. Participants report side effects such as lightening up, laughing more, adopting a new healthy habit and feeling a boost in morale.
“Your keynote address presented at our national convention in Las Vegas wowed our attendees — you were absolutely their favorite speaker ... Your presentation was hilarious but tasteful and you remained the true professional throughout the entire arrangements process. You are simply the best.
