DGM #041: Not Your Average Locums Doc: Dr. Jamila Goldsmith on Securing the Bag & Doing Locums Right

• Kimberly Brown, MD, MPH • Season 3 • Episode 41

🚨 Warning: This episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about making money as a doctor.

Hey Doc! Wlcome back to yet another episode. This week, I sat down with my emergency medicine sister, Dr. Jamila Goldsmith—physician, locums expert, entrepreneur, and all-around boss—to talk about the game-changing power of locum tenens. If you think locums is just for burnt-out doctors or people who “couldn’t get a real job,” think again. Dr. Jamila breaks it ALL down—how she took control of her career straight out of residency, why she ditched the traditional job path, and how she built a life where she can work on HER terms.

But listen, this episode is not just about locums—it’s about FREEDOM. It’s about setting boundaries, making money moves that align with your values, and designing a career that lets you LIVE. From negotiating the bag to balancing life as a physician-mom, Dr. Jamila gives the real talk (and the receipts) on how to do locums the right way.

Plus, we’re bringing all the vibes. Mink coats, cocktails, Black History Month taxes—yeah, you don’t want to miss this one.

Hit play NOW and get ready to take notes.
