#20 Doctors Are Humans Too With Sunny Smith

Have you considered hiring a physician coach? Or have you thought about becoming one yourself? In this episode, Dr. Sunny Smith shares how she made the life-changing decision to coach her colleagues after being coached herself. 


Dr. Smith is a Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the Founder of Empowering Women Physicians podcast coaching and retreats.
