• Ep 165: From Surviving to Thriving — Financial Empowerment for International Medical Graduates with Dr. Boram Han
    Sep 9 2025

    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.

    Some topics we discussed were:

    • Navigating U.S. training as an international medical graduate (IMG) and building a life from scratch
    • Dr. Han’s inspiration to start her coaching program
    • Why financial literacy is so critical, especially for international medical graduates
    • How Dr. Han went from burnout to building a thriving coaching practice
    • The biggest financial mistakes new physicians make
    • How credit card points and travel hacking fit into financial coaching
    • Getting started in real estate as an international medical graduate Juggling medicine, motherhood, and a coaching practice
    • 3 practical tips or resources for physicians who want to get started with improving their financial wellbeing
    • Tips on effective time management

  • Ep 164: Creating a Network of Clinics That Function as One Organization with 40 Under 40 Awardee, Dr. Julie Wilson Part 2
    Sep 2 2025

    Dr. Julie Wilson is a physician-entrepreneur on a mission to rebuild primary care from the inside out — not just for patients, but for the doctors who serve them.

    As the Founder and CEO of Terra Nova Medical Clinics, she’s leading the largest and fastest-growing physician-led network in British Columbia, bringing a modern, collaborative, and tech-forward model of healthcare to a system that’s long been stuck in the past.

    Frustrated by the outdated setups she saw across BC — single-doc offices, paper records, no cross-coverage — Julie built her first clinic in 2015 with a bold vision: integrated teams, cloud-based systems, and a structure that puts both providers and patients first. While many clinics shut their doors during the pandemic, she doubled down, scaling Terra Nova from one location serving 25,000 patients to a thriving network of seven clinics serving over 50,000.

    Her approach blends medical excellence with compassion, ethical leadership, fair pay, career progression, and continuity of care — creating a blueprint for how primary care should work.

    Named to Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women and 40 Under 40, she’s also a healthcare advocate working to fix Canada’s physician shortage by mentoring international medical grads and influencing policy through her role with Doctors of BC.

    Some of the topics we discussed were:

    • What helps Dr. Wilson overcome obstacles she encounters on her journey and keep going
    • How Dr. Wilson makes the time to run an interconnected network of clinics
    • Three pieces of advice Dr. Wilson would give to her past self when she was still in medical school based on her current experience
    • How Dr. Wilson went from having one single family clinic to expanding to a network of clinics
    • What Dr. Wilson would recommend physicians on their journey to starting a practice and to expanding their practices
    • Dr. Wilson’s 5 best tips for physicians on this journey
    • How to make everyone on your staff happy with their working environment
    • How to make your staff feel appreciated
    • How to create flexibility for your staff in their schedules
