Surgeon. Author. Speaker. Certified Life Coach. Dr. Starla Fitch took her love of studying and understanding people to the next level. After obtaining her master's degree in sociology from Texas A & M University and working with the elderly, she went on to medical school, internship, residency and fellowship. She studied at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Washington.
A few years after landing her "dream job," Dr. Fitch faced life-altering physician burnout. It made her question everything she thought she knew. She found a way to remember why she went into medicine in the first place. And now she helps others in the medical profession do the same.
