Listen in as we discuss Dr. Borad’s career path and her training to become a coach specializing in helping medical students thrive!
Dr. Borad is a Concierge Family Medicine Physician and a coach for both medical students and Attending Physicians to prevent or treat burnout, gracefully manage all of the inevitable transitions that occur in a medical career, and discover a fulfilling career in medicine.
She had the opportunity to experience life in Academic medicine for several years, during which her greatest joy was teaching medical students to believe in their clinical skills, contemplate their specialty choices and the population they want to serve, and accept the uncertainty of the healthcare profession.
She was previously a Physician Leader (Clinic Medical Director, Department Wellness Director, and Department COVID-19 Lead Physician) and experienced burnout twice. During this time, she decided to invest in herself and collaborate with a Physician Coach, and it changed her life. She was able to develop the courage to acknowledge her burnout and openly discuss this with her supervisors. She advocated for myself to have a part-time schedule. She chose herself and walked away from a job that no longer aligned with her values. She found a way to practice medicine more sustainably (Concierge Medicine). She openly shared my experiences which had the ripple effect of allowing other burgeoning leaders to ask for more, ask for what they deserve. In fact, since she left her prior practice, they have allowed more Physicians to work part-time which has resulted in less burnout and more fulfillment amongst their Physicians.
Her breadth of experiences allows her to confidently coach any medical professional, and her focus is the two ends of a continuum: those at the beginning of their journey (medical students) and those entrenched in Physician hood (Attending Physicians). That being said, she has also been coaching resident Physicians, so she truly enjoy coaching Physicians through all stages of their journey.
