Who I am

I'm Dr. Boram Han — physician, and personal finance coach for women physicians.

As an internal medicine, obesity medicine, and women's health physician in Boston, I've spent my career deeply committed to caring for my patients. But for years, I also carried something a lot of women physicians carry quietly: the nagging sense that I didn't have a real handle on my financial life.

I was working hard. I was a good doctor. But I was also on the hamster wheel — busy, burnt out, and never quite sure if I was building the financial foundation I actually needed.

No one teaches us this in medical school. And coming from South Korea, building my career here as an international medical graduate, I had an extra layer to figure out — a financial system that was entirely foreign to me, with no roadmap and no one to ask. In a profession where we're expected to have everything together, it can feel almost embarrassing to admit you're uncertain about money. But the truth is, most of us are.

I've learned that burnout doesn't just come from long hours. It comes from feeling like all that effort isn't adding up to something stable and secure. When your financial life feels uncertain, it quietly drains you — even when you're doing meaningful work.

Women physicians carry so much. You give so much. My goal is to help you build a financial foundation solid enough that it stops being a source of stress — so you can show up for your patients, your family, and yourself with the clarity and peace of mind you've earned.

When I sit with another woman physician and watch the worry leave her face — when she finally feels settled about her finances — I know exactly why I do this work.

You went into medicine to make a difference. Let's make sure your financial life supports that mission, not undermine it.
