The interview

Who are you and what were you struggling with before joining?

Hi, my name is Doctor Julia Friesen, naturopathic doctor. And three years ago I was struggling with time management, patient retention, building plans for patients, and since joining The Confident Clinician Club, I've been able to build my practice as a new graduate.

How has your practice changed after joining the program?

After The Confident Clinician program my practice is much better because I'm able to give patients effective strategies that are evidence based and I'm confident in giving those strategies and tools to patients, knowing that they'll get better and they'll come back for follow ups and trust me as their healthcare provider.

What made you decide to join The Confident Clinician Club?

What made me say yes to The Confident Clinician Club was wanting the mentorship and guidance, but also wanting someone that I trusted who had an approach to naturopathic medicine similar to myself.

Did you have any hesitations or worries before starting?

If there was something that might have prevented me from starting with The Confident Clinician, it would have been time commitments. I was worried about the amount of time I had to spend researching for specific patient cases, and I was worried that adding more lectures and more time commitments on top of what I was already doing was going to prevent me from starting.

What has surprised you most about the membership?

What surprised me the most was that I thought I was going to join the club and remain in the club for a year, gather all the information I thought that I would need, and then move on. But the amount of information and resources and tools that I gathered through the club has made me want to stay in the club forever. Every single month, there's guest lecturers, there is new content coming out every single week.

How has this impacted your daily workflow and patient visits?

What I am now able to do with my practice is that I find when I'm in a patient visit, I'm able to be present. I'm not worried about researching things in the visit with the patient. I'm able to finish my soap notes within the visit with the patient and give them a plan right after the visit.

How has the program helped you as a leader in your field?

The Confident Clinician has helped me step up and be a leader in my community in women's health by providing me with tools and resources to have the best evidence based approaches to help people feel better. They're trusting me for opinions on new complaints that they have through various stages of their life.
