Summary

  • I am a passionate gastroenterologist who loves promoting health and wellness, not only of my patients, but also of my colleagues.

    I enjoy teaching and lecturing to medical students, residents, nurses and anyone interested in health. **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** >>

    I recently started GutGirlMD because it takes Guts to be a Girl in Medicine, we lead from our Gut and I want to stop the hemorrhaging of female physicians from the healthcare system. **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****
    >>

    I accomplish this providing keynote speaking on sensitive topics such as
    ---Why men don't want women physicians to quit
    ---Implicit Bias- we are all guilty
    ---Burnout Prevention- 10 tips to change your trajectory of burnout
    ---Building your Elevator Pitch and your Brand**** *** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** >>

    As a certified executive coach, I also provide 1:1 coaching to women physicians and leaders.
    --"I was ready to resign before our coaching session. Now I feel in control and not a victim of my career"
    --"I now am free from my father's voice when I enter the board room. Thank you for helping me realize that what I was hearing and believing wasn't even real"
    --"The fog has lifted, now I have clarity on my next move" **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ** >>

    My dream is to re-create our highly successful Women Leaders in Medicine program to any institution, hospital or system that want to improve burnout, retention and engagement of their women physicians.

    I am a mother of 3, active in my community (IRL) and on Twitter and FB as I try to do my part to knock COVID-19 off this planet.
