Stephanie brings an insurance perspective focused on protecting physicians' income through thoughtful disability coverage and risk planning. As a practicing OB/GYN whose own career was cut short by an unexpected injury, she has lived the exact scenario most doctors only consider in the abstract. At Earned Institute, her experience as a practicing OB/GYN and her own career-ending injury shapes content that is grounded in real-world insight and helps doctors navigate complex policies with clarity and confidence. She draws on that experience every time she speaks to residents, fellows, and early career attendings, walking audiences through what the claims process actually looks like, where common policies fall short, and the specific provisions that determine whether coverage holds up when it matters most, making her one of the most sought-after voices on physician disability insurance.
