About this listen
Dr. Boram Han is an Internal Medicine Primary Care Physician and the founder of Coach Boram MD, a personal finance coaching platform created to empower physicians—especially international medical graduates (IMGs)—to achieve financial clarity, confidence, and long-term freedom.
As an IMG herself, Dr. Han understands how overwhelming it can be to navigate the U.S. financial system—especially when you come from a different country, are adjusting to a new life, and were never taught these topics in training. She brings a relatable, step-by-step approach to money, helping physicians gain the knowledge and confidence they need to make sound financial decisions.
Dr. Han is passionate about demystifying personal finance. She coaches on a wide range of topics including insurance, retirement planning, estate planning, real estate investing, and credit strategy. She firmly believes that building financial literacy is one of the most powerful ways physicians can take back control of their lives and their time.
Dr. Han advocates for financial empowerment as a form of self-care. She believes that when physicians are financially well, they are better able to find peace in their careers and avoid burnout—leading to greater sustainability, purpose, and joy in medicine. Her mission is to help physicians make small but powerful financial changes today that can completely change where they are 10 years from now.
