Burnout is a reality for many physicians, but what happens when you turn that frustration into innovation? In this episode, host Leo engages in a captivating conversation with Dr. Diana Kumar and Dr. Theresa Walsh as they delve into the world of innovative healthcare solutions. With their unique blend of medical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit, they share valuable insights on successfully transitioning to virtual care, the autonomy and flexibility that comes with running their own practice, and the profound impact of delivering specialized women's health services to patients nationwide. This episode is an essential listen for healthcare professionals exploring telemedicine opportunities, as well as patients seeking accessible and personalized care. Discover the future of healthcare and the pioneers shaping it.

Three Actionable Takeaways:

1. Prioritize Your Goals – Reflect on your personal and professional priorities to identify if your current role aligns with your vision, as Diana and Theresa did with their “Burn Journal.”
2. Start with a Website – Establish a digital presence early by creating a website to attract patients, outsourcing design and branding if needed to save time and ensure professionalism.
3. Leverage Social Media – Use platforms like Instagram and Facebook groups to connect with patients, starting locally to test systems before scaling nationally through SEO and targeted ads.
