How to Work Less and Live Abroad as a Doctor with Dr. Kristine Goins

Hey Doc! Have you ever wondered what it would actually look like to practice medicine… but not live in the U.S.? Not vacation. Not take a sabbatical. Actually live abroad.
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Kristine Goins, psychiatrist, founder of Nomads MD, and full-blown digital nomad physician who spends most of her year outside of the United States while still practicing medicine and building wealth. And this is not some “one day when I retire” story. This is real life.
Kristine shares how burnout pushed her to rethink everything, how she used geo-arbitrage to maintain her U.S. income while lowering her cost of living, and how she built a time- and location-independent medical practice that allows her to work 20 hours a week (or less) while living in Colombia, Mexico, South Africa, France, and beyond.
We talk about:
• What finally made her leave a traditional academic role
• How she replaced her income through telemedicine and consulting
• What geo-arbitrage actually is (and why doctors should understand it)
• How to digitize your medical expertise
• Why financial freedom isn’t about quitting medicine, it’s about redefining your relationship to work
If you’ve ever felt the pull to live differently… slower… more intentionally… this episode is going to stretch your thinking in the best way.
Because the question isn’t “Is this possible?”
It’s “Are you willing to build it?”
