Episode notes
Episode 27 of The Health Exchange Podcast explores the realities of launching and running a private medical practice with returning guest Dr. Jihan Ansari. Drawing from her experience founding Harbor Direct Primary Care, Dr. Ansari opens up about the fears, logistics, and personal sacrifices that come with leaving the corporate model behind. She and Dr. Rutland unpack the differences between U.S. and Canadian healthcare systems, discuss burnout versus fulfillment, and explain why medical training rarely prepares doctors to be entrepreneurs. From credentialing delays to social media marketing and chasing insurance claims, this episode offers an honest look at the business side of medicine—and the passion it takes to build something of your own.
