49 - Medical Entrepreneurship with Dr. Eileen Heo

Dr. Wing Lim hosts Dr. Eileen Heo in the first episode of a new series about medical entrepreneurship. Eileen graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School and then did a family medicine residency at UBC, across the country. Upon completing residency, she moved back to Toronto where she is in her first five years of real practice. Wing talks with her about why she chose not to open a clinic and instead went into being a hospitalist.Dr. Eileen Heo and Dr. Wing Lim discuss what it is about working in a hospital that Eileen finds so compelling and they also address the family medicine crisis in Ontario, which is also more or less nationwide. Eileen honestly shares that fee increases are not keeping pace with inflation and the related difficulties of wealth building as a medical practitioner. This led her to her non-medical entrepreneurship in educating herself about financial well-being through studying investing, stock options, e-commerce, and managing personal finances. Wing and Eileen shed a lot of light on why understanding finance is such an important investment for any physician. __Contact Dr Eileen C D Heo, BMSc, MD, CCFP:email: [email protected] Empowerment: Attend an upcoming Empowerment RetreatJoin the Physician Empowerment Masterclass nowWebsite: PhysEmpowerment.ca Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
