Jill Wruble
JILL WRUBLE, D.O., has many stories to tell. She is a radiologist, a former U.S. Army major, a faculty member at two medical schools, a mother, an endurance athlete, and a guitarist. Three years ago, Wruble started a new story. She became concerned with the explosion of “incidentalomas”—abnormalities that appear on tests ordered for a different purpose and which trigger a cascade of additional medical testing. “This phenomenon yields not only unnecessary patient anxiety but also extraordinary and disproportionate expense,” Wruble explains. “Less than 1 percent of these abnormalities are significant, but overall, pursuing them is harmful and very costly.” Those costs add up: to more than $200 billion a year.

Wafa Bengra
One of the biggest misconceptions people have about Wafa Bengra’s role as a digital communications specialist is that she is an expert in all areas of communications. “What’s really true is that we work as a team in harmony,” Bengra explains. “Communications is a mix of art and science, and this is where I find the beauty of it all. Everyone has his or her own specialty, in addition to being able to work together to deliver the final art piece.”
Learning to Take the Lead
