In this episode of the My DPC Story Podcast, Dr. Maryal Concepcion interviews Dr. Pouneh Alizadeh, founder of Flourish Gynecology, who shares her inspiring journey transitioning from a hospital-employed OB/GYN to combining locums work with launching her own direct specialty care (DSC) practice. Dr. Alizadeh opens up about the challenges of balancing motherhood, physician burnout, and the drive to practice medicine on her own terms through the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model. The conversation covers the practicalities of starting a DPC/DSC practice, managing finances, setting boundaries, and integrating locums work for stability and flexibility. Dr. Alizadeh offers insights on building a sustainable, patient-focused medical career, highlights the importance of networking and community, and emphasizes the empowerment DPC provides for women physicians. If you’re interested in DPC, locums, direct specialty care, physician entrepreneurship, or women’s health, this episode delivers firsthand advice and encouragement to take control of your career and redefine success in medicine.
