Podcast appearances and mentions of Sarah Smith

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. AJ (Amjed) Kadhim-Saleh, a dynamic family physician and entrepreneur from Toronto. Dr. AJ shares his inspiring journey from dreaming about building his own clinic during residency to actually opening the doors of his practice—starting with just a concrete slab and a vision of long-term sustainability in medicine. The conversation dives into the nuts and bolts of setting up a clinic from scratch, the importance of efficient systems, and the sometimes-overwhelming administrative burden that comes with being both a physician and practice owner. Dr. AJ openly discusses the challenges he faced with paperwork, how it began to impact his family life, and the pivotal moment that led him to co-found Pippin AI, an innovative AI scribe designed to support family doctors. Along the way, Dr. AJ and Dr. Smith explore the often overlooked business side of medical practice, the need for practical education in practice management, and how embracing change (with a little entrepreneurial grit and a supportive team) can help create a more sustainable clinical day—and a life outside of medicine. Whether you're a new resident thinking about your future, a physician looking for inspiration to build a more efficient practice, or just curious about how technology is shaping the future of primary care, this episode is packed with insights, practical tips, and plenty of encouragement to pursue your vision. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Build with Vision & Community: Starting a clinic from the ground up is about more than architectural plans—it's about designing systems, choosing supportive partners, and cultivating a team invested in sustainable change. Embrace Technology for Sustainability: Efficient tools—like secure patient portals and AI-powered documentation—can relieve the paperwork burden, free up precious hours, and allow us to focus on quality patient care (and our lives outside the clinic!). Change is a Team Sport: Successful practice transformation hinges on bringing your people along for the ride. Clearly communicate the “why” behind changes, tailor solutions to their needs, and foster an environment of ongoing collaboration and support. Meet Dr. AJ (Amjed) Kadhim-Saleh: Dr. Amjed Kadhim-Saleh (AJ for short) is a community family physician, clinic owner, and health technology entrepreneur in Toronto. AJ graduated medical school from the University of Ottawa, and completed his family medicine residency at the University of Toronto. Serving a diverse population of over 1700 patients, AJ is passionate about comprehensive family medicine and building efficient practice. AJ developed an AI-powered Physician Assistant called Pippen, which aims to alleviate administrative burden among physicians and encourage better doctor-patient interactions. AJ is also a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Toronto. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

John 13:31-35

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this special episode, Dr. Sarah Smith joins forces with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal from the Unstoppable Mom Brain Podcast for a deeply insightful conversation all about reclaiming time and creating more sustainable clinical practices. Together, they dive into the real-life struggles physicians face when it comes to finishing work at work—and not letting charting and paperwork spill into precious family time. Dr. Smith shares her own journey of burnout, the “aha” moments that changed her approach forever, and the practical strategies that helped her—and now hundreds of other clinicians—conquer endless documentation and interruptions. This episode is packed with actionable gems, from simple mindset shifts to rethinking workflow, delegation, and team dynamics. Whether you're a physician, a professional working mom, or anyone craving more balance between career and home, this conversation will inspire you to rethink what's possible. Tune in for tangible tips, relatable stories, and a whole lot of encouragement to create those “bucket loads of time” you've been searching for. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Redesign Your Workflow—One Small Step at a Time: Challenging your status quo doesn't require a massive overhaul overnight. Dr. Smith emphasizes starting with one thing you wish were different, then getting curious about how to make that change—whether it's charting as you go or setting clearer boundaries for finishing tasks before heading home. Choose the 'Goat Track' over the 'Superhighway': Our brains crave familiar (often inefficient) routines. Breaking those habits will feel awkward and slower at first, but staying consistent creates more “bucket loads of time”—those open evenings and weekends we all crave. Teamwork and Delegation Create Freedom: Whether you have a team or work solo, look for ways to delegate, systematize, and create assets that make recurring tasks easier. Training others (or even your future self!) means you spend your best energy on what truly requires your expertise. Episode 102: Burn Stress. Lose Weight. Podcast (Formerly the Unstoppable Mom Brain Podcast) In this episode of the Unstoppable Mom Brain Podcast, I have Dr. Sarah Smith sharing her journey from being a rural family physician to becoming an expert in optimizing work-life balance for physicians, particularly focusing on completing tasks efficiently during clinical hours. Dr. Smith's transformation from struggling with work-life balance to finding simplicity and joy in her professional and personal life is inspiring. Through her coaching, she helps physicians reclaim their time, reduce stress, and prioritize their well-being while excelling in their careers. Tune in to this episode to unlock valuable insights and actionable strategies that will empower you to achieve greater balance, joy, and success in your professional and personal life. Sarah Smith is the Charting Coach for Physicians and clinicians and a practicing Rural Family Physician in Alberta.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this compelling episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson—known as Dr. Toya—to discuss her transformative journey through medicine, from her beginnings in Trinidad and Tobago to her training as an OB/GYN in the US, and ultimately her bold decision to step away from clinical practice. Dr. Toya candidly opens up about her experiences with burnout in residency and corporate medicine, the toll it took on her personal well-being, and the moments that sparked real change in her career and life. She shares how a leap into entrepreneurship during the COVID-19 pandemic rekindled her confidence and purpose beyond clinical work, eventually inspiring her to become a coach for physician moms navigating medicine and motherhood. Dr. Toya reveals practical tools she used for efficiency, like templates and support systems, and emphasizes the importance of advocacy, boundaries, and accepting support—whether at work or at home. Tune in for an honest, inspiring conversation about resilience, redefining success in medicine, and the power of community and self-compassion in building a sustainable clinical career. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Support Matters at Work and Home: Whether advocating for yourself in a tough clinical environment or building a support system at home, allowing yourself to be supported is crucial. As Dr. La Toya shared, “We have worked so hard to get where we are. Allow yourself to be supported.” Efficiency and Boundaries Fight Burnout: La Toya emphasized the power of systems, templates, and boundaries, both in patient care and personal life. Tackling the inbox right away, leveraging dictation and templates, and having clear work/home boundaries helped her stay efficient—and sane. Burnout Isn't the End—It's a Call to Innovate:Experiencing burnout multiple times gave Dr. La Toya new perspectives and fueled her pivot into entrepreneurship and coaching. She now empowers physician moms to carve their own pathways—inside or outside medicine: “They can stay in medicine if that's what they want. They can leave medicine if that's what they want. They can find their balance.” Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson Bio: Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson aka Dr. Toya, is a wife, mother, board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, perinatal mental health specialist, and Coach. She helps Physician Moms thrive in medicine and motherhood without complete self-sacrifice. With over a decade of experience in women's health, Dr. Toya empowers physician moms through private and group coaching and her podcast, ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨ a space where physician moms can feel a little more seen and a lot less alone. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith is joined by Sue Peters—a healthcare improvement leader with a background in audiology and extensive experience in quality improvement for clinical teams. Sue and Sarah dive into the day-to-day challenges clinicians face, from the dreaded in-basket workload to the complexities of team communication and patient care coordination. Together, they explore practical strategies to streamline processes, clarify roles within clinical teams, and leverage everyone's unique skills to create more efficient and sustainable practice environments. Sue shares actionable tips on offloading non-physician work, optimizing EMRs, and effectively onboarding patients—all while ensuring that both providers and patients benefit from these improvements. Plus, they chat about breaking old habits, embracing true teamwork, and even finding ways to take things out of everyone's overloaded "backpack." Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Embrace Team-Based Care: Don't try to shoulder all the work alone. By clearly defining roles and empowering every member of the care team—from RNs and LPNs to MOAs—practices can improve patient access, reduce wait times, and allow clinicians to focus on what matters most. Optimize Your EMR Processes: Standardizing how we populate and use EMR data not only improves patient care, but also makes it much easier to delegate and manage population health. Consistency in documentation enables actionable reporting—and lets the right team member handle the right task. Involve Everyone in Change: Successful quality improvement requires all voices at the table, not just physicians. When team members participate in designing solutions, they're more engaged, invested, and open to new ways of working. Sue Peters Bio: Sue Peters is a Healthcare Improvement Leader working with Primary Care and Specialty Teams to achieve true team-based care through Quality Improvement. Imagine a team where every member has a critical role in patient care and is working to top of scope, allowing you to focus on the work for which you are highly trained - It is possible. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In today's episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Judy Wright—family physician, wellness and performance strategist, and passionate advocate for clinician well-being. Dr. Wright shares her own journey through various sectors of medicine, from community health and academia to the insurance industry and corrections, highlighting the personal costs, challenges, and ultimate evolution of her approach to sustainable practice. Listen as Dr. Wright opens up about the pressures of double-booked schedules, late nights spent charting, and the emotional load that follows physicians out of the clinic. She discusses pivotal moments when she realized the need for boundaries, respect, and realism in her work environment, and how major life changes—like becoming a parent—helped her reframe her priorities. Dr. Wright offers candid advice for clinicians who feel overwhelmed, sharing practical insights on setting boundaries, advocating for personal needs, and creating those vital pauses during the clinical day. Whether you're struggling with burnout, searching for ways to make your career more sustainable, or simply want to hear an inspiring story of transformation, this episode is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Real-Time Documentation is a Game-Changer: Dr. Wright reflected on her early practice of writing notes after hours, leading to burnout and late nights. Switching to real-time documentation (even with patients waiting a bit longer) was transformative, allowing her to finish on time and reclaim personal time. Advocacy Matters—Both for Patients and Yourself: Whether she was fighting for patient care in a health insurance setting or setting boundaries with administration about workload and safety, Dr. Wright emphasized the importance of clear, respectful communication and realistic expectations in clinical practice. Your Pause is Essential (Not Optional): Dr. Wright's mantra: “No one is going to give you your pause—you need to create it.” Intentional breaks and boundary-setting aren't just self-care—they're vital for sustainability and preventing burnout. Dr. Judy Wright Bio: Dr. Judy Wright is a practicing Medical Director, international speaker, and wellness strategist who helps healthcare professionals build sustainable careers without sacrificing their wellbeing. Following her own cancer diagnosis that forced her to confront burnout, Dr. Wright developed practical frameworks that transform how medical professionals approach self-care and stress management. Drawing from over 20 years of experience in healthcare, she created the Life Balance Blueprint™ methodology, which has been implemented by physicians and nurses across multiple hospital systems. Her signature "pause breaks" approach teaches medical professionals how to integrate micro-recovery moments into even the most demanding clinical environments. Dr. Wright has presented her evidence-based strategies at the American Academy of Family Physicians and numerous healthcare institutions. As founder of JW Health Consulting, she partners with hospitals and healthcare organizations to create cultures where medical professionals can thrive. Her mission is simple but powerful: healthcare can only deliver exceptional patient care when providers themselves are well. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Hello and welcome to the 100th episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! I'm your host, Dr. Sarah Smith, and today we're celebrating this milestone with a deep dive into sustainable practices that can transform your clinical day. We'll explore strategies for effectively onboarding clinical staff and discuss how facilitating chart audits has improved the standard of care. We'll address the challenges of dealing with uncertainty in medical practice, such as unpredictable patient schedules and medication side effects, and highlight the invaluable role of relational continuity in primary care with its numerous benefits. In this episode, I'll share insights on managing patient access and follow-up when there's high demand and limited supply of family physicians, leveraging team resources, and innovative solutions to reduce clinician burnout. Plus, I'll discuss the importance of building a strong "medical neighbourhood," incorporating the expertise of social workers and pharmacists to enhance patient care. Join me as I reflect on my personal journey since 2017, including my recent relocation back to Australia, and how coaching can lead to a balanced clinical life. We will also talk about our successful programs, Charting Champions and Smarter Charting, designed to support healthcare professionals in creating sustainable workdays.

Sarah Smith shares the heartbreaking story of navigating her mother's journey with Early-Onset Alzheimer's disease. Sarah's mom, “Beauty,” was full of life, strong and independent. When she began slipping mentally, she and her husband tried to cover up the problem, and Beauty refused to go to the doctor for years. Eventually, Sarah's dad had to ask for help and that led to many emotional, physical and spiritual challenges for Sarah's parents and family. Sarah found comfort in God's abiding presence, even when the stress and struggles with Beauty seemed overwhelming.   Receive the book Broken Beauty plus a free audio download of “Helping or Hurting: Understanding the Power of Your Words” for your donation of any amount!
