Dr. Starla Fitch is a Certified Executive and Life Coach for Physicians, an international speaker, author of the best-selling book, "Remedy for Burnout," and an oculoplastic surgeon. She's known as "The Connection Doctor" because of her acclaimed TED talk, "Connect or Die: The Surprising Power of Human Relationships." Starla uses her expertise to help the physicians she coaches connect to success on their own terms.
Starla's viral Huffington Post article, "The Secret Lives of Doctors," was viewed by over 100,000 people. She writes for KevinMD, MedPage Today, and has been featured on CBS, NBC, FOX, and NPR.
Starla was initially educated in sociology with a Master’s Degree from Texas A & M University, and worked in the field for two years. But she decided to pursue a medical degree, which she completed at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.
She completed an internship at Baylor, and then her ophthalmology residency at the University of Washington, followed by a Fellowship in Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
She is somewhat of an icon in the physician coaching world. She has a lot of experience and wisdom. So, I’m very happy that she agreed to come on the podcast and share her thoughts with us.
