Dr. Suzanne Morgan is a board-certified family medicine physician who earned her doctorate of osteopathic medicine in 2004 at Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Feeling burned out after 11 years in fee-for-service practice, she sought out opportunities that would allow her to care for patients and practice medicine in a way that maximized patient success and wellness while providing a better work-life balance for her. In 2018, she moved to an employer sponsored direct primary care model that allowed her to care for patients and pursue leadership within that organization. In January 2022, she moved to PeopleOne Health as Chief Medical Officer, continuing to practice family medicine. A primary motivation for her to continue in leadership is the ability to educate and offer the opportunity of employer-sponsored direct primary care to colleagues in primary care.
Some of the topics we discussed were:
- What direct primary care is and how it can be employer sponsored
- How much time Dr. Morgan usually has for appointments and how many patients she sees per day
- How quickly patients can get an appointment

She has created the mentorship program she wishes would have been available to get her the confidence to go from contemplation to successful short term rental business.

Oxana’s greatest love (other than diving into the Pacific with her marine family) is empowering people by helping them heal themselves on all levels-physical, emotional, and spiritual. She works with people all over the globe, from physicians, to business executives, to coaches and entrepreneurs. If you feel you have empathic tendencies, Oxana has your medicine.

One of the main barriers for physicians who want to take a sabbatical is finding coverage for clinical responsibilities. Dr. Gebauer is connecting physicians who want to go on sabbatical with doctors who want to cover for them.
Dr. Gebauer is a physician, data expert, and consultant with extensive administrative and quality experience. She attended Stanford Medical School, completed an anesthesiology residency at the University of California, San Francisco and a fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at the San Diego Hospice Institute for Palliative Medicine. After fellowship, she joined the faculty at the University of New Mexico and she completed a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Informatics.
In 2017, she and her family moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where she is a partner in her private practice anesthesiology group and the founder of the town's palliative care clinic.
She is the author of numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and serves as a consultant to several medical start-ups. Her husband and four school-age kids love to ski past her down the mountain.
Her family recently embarked on a five-month sabbatical to help her kids learn to speak Spanish, see the world, and spend time together. She strongly believes in the importance of workplace flexibility and hopes that her blog, physiciansabbatical.com, will help other physicians take a sabbatical.
Some of the topics we discussed were:
- Finding coverage for your sabbatical
- Creative malpractice insurance and housing arrangements
- Creative ways to finance sabbatical
- Kids on sabbatical

Lena Shahbandar is a physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A graduate of Northwestern University for undergraduate and medical school, she practices outpatient musculoskeletal medicine with a particular area of interest in women’s musculoskeletal health and pain in pregnancy.

This solution led to the creation of Nessl and the Nessl Baby Carrier.
When not working, Lena loves to spend time with her husband and three children, and to play tennis, ski and hike.

Dr. Olga Lemberg is a board certified pediatrician based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is the founder and president of Fabled, a medical apparel brand that launched in 2017. Fabled strives to uplift women in medicine through stylish and empowering workwear designs.
Dr. Lemberg came to the realization that existing medical uniforms weren’t serving the needs of women leaders in medicine. She started brainstorming designs post-call after years of wearing scrubs that lacked the professionalism, style and versatility she wanted from her uniform.
Fabled is the first brand of its kind to provide medical apparel solutions outside of the traditional scrub offering. Their designs marry contemporary office-wear silhouettes with the functionality and comfort of scrubs, which means they can be styled and worn in ways beyond what is thought traditionally possible for scrubs.
Dr. Lemberg runs Fabled while still practicing medicine. Her client base has grown organically through word of mouth and now ships to over 6 countries.
Some of the topics we discussed were:
- The meaning and inspiration behind Fabled
- How Dr. Lemberg created a design
