Balance HI Podcast
I'm Samie — Director of Health Information Management, adjunct professor at multiple universities, and founder of Team Lo LLC. I've spent over a decade inside HIM departments, classrooms, and boardrooms collecting the real gems this profession doesn't hand you in a textbook.
This podcast exists because HIM professionals deserve more than textbooks and LinkedIn posts. You need real talk about where the field is going, how AI is changing your role, how to pass your boards, how to lead a department, and how to build a career — not just a job.
Whether you're a student trying to break in, a coder ready to level up, or a director navigating the future of health data — this is your space.
New episodes drop regularly.
