The Journey of FashoMD
My journey didn’t start perfect guidance or resources. I learned by doing, stumbling, and rebuilding – then choosing to share what I wish I’d known sooner. Here’s the path that shaped me, and the lessons I carry into caring for patients and building a life by design.
Where It All Began
My journey into medicine has always been about purpose, passion, and people. Growing up, I was drawn to the intersection of science and service, inspired by the opportunity to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. That passion carried me through years of rigorous training and countless moments of growth, ultimately shaping me into a physician dedicated not just to treating illness but to promoting healing, hope, and wholeness.
Building Beyond the Clinic
Medicine is a calling, but it doesn’t have to be the whole story. Alongside my clinical practice, I’ve embraced opportunities to learn about business, entrepreneurship, and leadership. From supporting private practice operations to exploring ventures like RV life, credit card points optimization, and personal brand building, I’ve found ways to merge my love of service with creativity and freedom. These pursuits remind me that physicians can—and should—design careers and lives that align with their values.
My Journey in Medicine & Beyond
I completed my residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of South Florida, a dual pathway that allowed me to care for patients across all ages and walks of life. This experience sharpened my ability to manage complexity, adapt to diverse needs, and see the bigger picture of health. But my journey hasn’t just been about medicine—it’s also been about discovering balance, resilience, and ways to thrive beyond the clinic.
Choosing Freedom Over Burnout
Like many physicians, I’ve witnessed firsthand the toll of burnout in medicine. But I chose a different path. Instead of letting the system dictate my pace and purpose, I’ve carved out space for flexibility, travel, and meaningful work that restores me rather than drains me. Through locums opportunities, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle design, I’ve redefined success on my own terms. My goal is to inspire others—patients, colleagues, and future physicians alike—to know that freedom and fulfillment are possible without sacrificing impact.
