Speaking Inquiry
KOL / Speaker
I am Dr. Fred Cho, a travel optometrist and advocate for sustainable career design in healthcare. After experiencing burnout, I reimagined my approach to optometry to find meaning and freedom—and now I help others do the same.
Drawing from my own journey and others who've built sustainable careers, I help fellow optometrists escape the burnout cycle, create work-life balance, and explore unconventional career paths.
My talks are practical, relatable, and designed to spark real change—whether virtual or in-person.
Key Topics
- Burnout and well-being strategies
- Travel optometry
- Sustainable career design
- Building unconventional optometry careers (content creation, tech, sports vision, consulting)
