Listen is as she shares her story of creating her own medical education business that is 100% online so busy physicians can take her courses when they have free time. Also, don’t miss out on hearing all about her Women Physicians Wellness Conference coming in 2019 to the Cayman Islands and how you can be there too!

  • How she uses her past experience to develop and grow her business.
  • Why she also developed her course for negotiation for clinicians.
