Podcast Description (Ep 390 – The Dana Download | hmTv)
In this episode of The Dana Download, host Dana Arschin Kraslow sits down with Cori Cohen, founder of My Abroad MDs, a proactive healthcare platform created to help American travelers and students studying abroad connect with trusted, English-speaking doctors worldwide.
Cori shares the deeply personal inspiration behind her mission, rooted in family, Jewish values, and the powerful idea of always “showing up” for others. What began as a protective list for her daughter’s study abroad experience evolved into a growing international network designed to prevent panic and empower travelers with preparedness before they even leave home.
Together, Dana and Cori explore:
- The real challenges of getting sick abroad and why being prepared matters
- How My Abroad MDs works (curated doctor directories, memberships, and support)
- The difference between reactive emergency care and proactive travel healthcare
- Self-pay vs. insurance realities overseas, including tips travelers should know
- Cori’s entrepreneurial journey, including how AI and interns helped scale the platform
- A moving reflection on family and the moments that change the way we see the world
This conversation is informative, heartfelt, and filled with practical wisdom for anyone who travels, has children studying abroad, or simply believes that peace of mind is part of good health.
