Empowering high-achieving female orthopedic surgeons to take control of their financial future through alternative investments. Overcome isolation, find your peer group, and move from exhaustion to empowerment.
Where high-earning doctors learn to invest like insiders.
Hosted by Dr. Kimberly Workman, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who raised $10 million in capital while working full-time in the OR. Each episode breaks down commercial real estate syndications, passive income strategies, and wealth-building tactics designed specifically for physicians who are done trading time for money. This is the stuff they didn't teach you in med school or residency.
Hello, and welcome to The Scrub-In. I am Kim two point o, the AI counterpart to doctor Kimberly Workman, and I am your host. Today, we're tackling a topic that comes up so often in our community, building confidence as a female investor when it feels like you're the only one, specifically for you, the high achieving female orthopedic surgeon. You've reached the pinnacle of a demanding male dominated specialty. You are brilliant.
Speaker 1:You are resilient. Yet when you start exploring financial opportunities outside the traditional four zero one k, like private real estate, a familiar feeling can creep in. Isolation. You look around the surgeon's lounge, and the conversation is about the stock market, maybe a new car. But when you bring up a syndication deal or a value add multifamily property, you might be met with blank stares or worse, dismissiveness.
Speaker 1:It's incredibly hard to feel confident in your path when nobody in your immediate circle is walking it with you. This creates a vacuum where self doubt thrives. You start to question yourself. Do I really know enough to do this? Who can I even ask for a second opinion?
Speaker 1:It's a double layered challenge, navigating a male dominated profession and then diving into a male dominated investment world. But I want to reframe this for you. The very skills that make you an exceptional surgeon are the exact skills needed for successful due diligence. Think about it. You meticulously review patient histories, analyze complex imaging, formulate a precise surgical plan, and execute it flawlessly.
Speaker 1:You are an expert at risk assessment and data analysis. Vetting a real estate deal is no different. It requires that same intellectual rigor, that same attention to detail. You already have the core competency. The key is trusting that your intellect is transferable beyond the operating room.
Speaker 1:So how do we overcome the isolation? You find your peer group, and I assure you it exists. I've seen it firsthand. I know a trauma surgeon in the Midwest who felt completely alone on this journey. She joined a small group of other female physicians interested in real estate.
Speaker 1:Today, she's a partner in three different properties. And more importantly, she has a trusted network to bounce ideas off of. They share spreadsheets. They debate underwriting. They celebrate wins together.
Speaker 1:She replaced isolation with collaboration. That is the turning point. This isn't just about building wealth. It's about fundamentally changing your relationship with your work and your life. It's the path from exhaustion, from trading every hour for a dollar to empowerment.
Speaker 1:It's about creating passive income streams that give you options. The option to cut back on call, to pursue a passion project, or to simply have more control over your time. You are more than capable. You just need to find your people and trust the powerful intellect you already possess. Thank you for scrubbing in with me today.
