  • Building a Virtual Practice: Dr. Joshua Engle on Telemedicine, Patient Acquisition, and Healthcare Innovation
    May 7 2026

    What if your smartphone camera could capture your complete vital signs during a virtual doctor visit—no wearable required?

    Dr. Anna Chacon welcomes Dr. Joshua Engle, founder of With You MD, a virtual-first medical practice specializing in primary care and chronic care management for Medicare and Medicaid populations. Dr. Engle completed his training at USC and Harvard's Beth Israel, where he developed a passion for medical technology through programs pairing medical students with engineering students. His background includes working on pediatric seizure monitoring devices and neuroradiology research. Today, Dr. Engle champions telemedicine as a powerful tool to serve historically underserved populations through CCM and RPM billing codes.

    How did COVID-19 accelerate the acceptance of virtual care in healthcare? The conversation explores Dr. Engle's entrepreneurial journey from academic medicine to launching With You MD, his strategies for patient acquisition through social media and networking, and the challenges of staffing a virtual practice. Dr. Engle shares insights from his podcast "Your First 100," discusses practical advice on EMR selection and hiring philosophy, and reveals his excitement about remote photoplethysmography (RPPG)—emerging technology that could revolutionize telehealth by capturing full vital signs through a smartphone camera.

    Dr. Joshua Engle is a graduate of USC Keck School of Medicine who completed his internship at Loyola MacNeal Hospital and post-doctoral research at Harvard's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. As founder of With You MD, he combines medical technology with wellness to serve Medicare and Medicaid populations. Before medical school, Dr. Engle launched a nonprofit providing over 3,000 free blood pressure screenings in underserved communities. Selected for USC's prestigious Health, Technology, and Engineering program, he pioneered work in neuroimaging for early disease detection.

  • Redefining Success: Dr. Rami Wehbi on Career Pivots and the Match Day Fellowship
    Apr 9 2026

    What happens when physicians realize their $300,000 debt has created golden handcuffs they can never escape?

    Dr. Anna Chacon welcomes Dr. Rami Wehbi, a former family physician who transformed burnout into entrepreneurship. As Founder and CEO of Match Day Health and host of The Dream Job Podcast, Rami guides healthcare professionals through strategic career transitions beyond clinical practice. His journey began during COVID when he dropped out of residency, struggled with an identity crisis, and eventually became VP of Clinical Operations for an AI startup. After raising over $1 million in funding, he built Match Day—a six-month paid fellowship offering personalized coaching, job placement support, and access to a curated network of 600 healthcare leaders.

    This conversation tackles the harsh realities behind medical training's golden handcuffs. Why do residents tolerate systemic abuse with $300,000+ debt hanging over them? How can healthcare professionals leverage existing skills in non-clinical roles when the system forces them to "basically go to jail" for three to five years? Rami dispels myths about easy career pivots, emphasizing that transitions require thick skin, strategic planning, and facing inevitable rejection. From the broken residency hierarchy to Match Day's structured fellowship model, they explore what it takes to bet on yourself and build a purpose-driven career beyond the bedside.
