About This Episode
If you’ve ever told yourself, “Maybe I need to do that MBA first…”
Or “Once I’ve done that course, then I’ll be ready…”
This episode is for you.
In this truth-telling solo, Dr. Abeyna Bubbers-Jones breaks down why so many brilliant doctors get stuck in the “just one more qualification” trap and how it’s costing them time, energy, and income.
Abeyna shares real stories of doctors who:
- Spent £20k+ on an MBA and still couldn’t get interviews
- Delayed career moves for nine years, waiting to feel “ready”
- Built profitable consulting offers without doing another course
- Finally learned how to package their existing value and get paid
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- Why more courses ≠ more credibility or income in industry
- The uncomfortable truth: qualifications don’t teach you how to get clients, market yourself, or make money
- How the industry actually rewards clarity, confidence, and strategic action
- Why “learning” feels safer than “doing” and how to break that cycle
- What it really means to stop collecting certificates and start getting results
This is for you if...
- You’re addicted to courses but still feel lost
- You keep delaying action until “the time is right”
- You want to finally take ownership of your career and income on your terms

About This Episode
You’re a smart, qualified — probably overqualified — doctor.
So why do you still feel stuck in industry, underpaid, undervalued, and unsure of your next move?
In this episode, Dr. Abeyna Bubbers-Jones, Occupational Health Consultant and founder of Medic Footprints, unpacks why so many brilliant doctors stay financially stuck — even after doing everything "right."
Abeyna speaks directly to doctors who:
- Have tried applying for dozens of jobs with no response
- Have done the MBA, the courses, the unpaid work
- Are trying to build a consulting or coaching offer… but it’s not making money
- Feel like they’ve hit a ceiling and have no roadmap forward
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
-
The 3 real reasons smart doctors stay poor:
- No roadmap
- No network
- Weak positioning
- Why doing more courses or an MBA won’t fix the real issue
- How one doctor landed a £10k HealthTech contract without applying for a single job
- Why 85% of the best roles aren’t advertised — and how to access them
- The true cost of waiting another year (or two) before making a move
This is for you if...
- You’re stuck in a low-value role or industry position
- You’ve been winging it and hoping something will land
- You want more income, more freedom — and a clear, smart plan to get there

Why do doctors feel guilty about asking for more money? And why does the world seem to reinforce that guilt?
For too long, as doctors, we have been conditioned to believe that medicine is a calling, not a career—that they should be grateful for what they have and never ask for more. But here’s the truth: knowing your value and charging accordingly is not greed—it’s self-respect.
In this episode, we’re breaking down:
- The cultural narratives that make doctors feel guilty about money
- How companies and organisations take advantage of doctors’ expertise for free
- Why other professionals aren’t shamed for making more—and why you shouldn’t be either
- How adopting a premium pricing and value-based strategy protects you from burnout and builds a sustainable career
- Practical steps to shift your mindset and start asking for what you deserve
Doctors, it’s time to stop undervaluing yourselves. The only people who shame you for asking for more are the ones benefiting from you asking for less.

Quotes:
The Challenges of Transitioning from Medicine to Industry: "when you're going into the industry landscape, it's a completely different picture because you can be trying your best and you may continue to face the same blockers without really being clear on why that's happening, because the rules are quite different. Like, for example, in medicine, if you're like, if you pass this, then you'll get this. Whereas in industry it's like, well, you might or might not get it, depending you could be amazing and still not get that job."
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
Challenges in Career Transition for Doctors: "I think for me it was the fact that I'd invested what seemed to, at the time seemed to be at the time, a lot of my life, getting into medicine, training, et cetera, et cetera, and only to throw it all away for another career."
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
Modern Job Market Demands: "I think there is more of an emphasis on how do you problem solve, how do you work in a crisis moment, how do you work collaboratively across teams with internal and external stakeholders, how much commercial acumen do you have at this stage?"
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
The Importance of Self-Promotion for Physicians: "And, yeah, it's a skill that not many doctors organically have when it comes to themselves, just because of the culture that we say grow up in, in medicine, particularly in the UK, I should say it's a little bit different elsewhere. But, yeah, it is an essential skill that you definitely need to learn to survive in industry."
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
Transitioning from Academia to Industry: "It's similar in the sense that moving to industry, even though there aren't really any kind of written rules, there are kind of rules, right? It's a lot more nuanced. There's a different culture and again, it's about understanding what the culture is, particularly for the sector that you're going to or even the company that you're going into or that you're really committed to."
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
The Value of Networking at In-Person Events: "But yeah, the benefits of attending events in person strongly outweighs, particularly now when we're kind of we've all got digital fatigue. Post COVID strongly outweighs the online in the sense that you get to meet people in person, you get the chemistry, the language you mentioned, which is a really important part of that as well, especially if you're new to the sector and it can open up so many opportunities."
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare

Topics include identifying strengths, differences between CEO and COO roles, conflict resolution, corporate financial literacy, and bridging knowledge gaps when transitioning from medicine to business. The episode encourages listeners to disrupt their careers, broaden perspectives, and make a meaningful impact in healthcare and beyond.
Timestamp:02:35 Doing business during and after medical school.
04:06 The changing landscape of a career in the NHS, working hours and burn out.
06:30 How do you find the time to develop your business experience?
08:46 Involved with Google, YouTube and Facebook through music.
11:08 Translating doctor skills to successful business skills.
13:03 Identifying one’s super powers.
16:18 Different phases of companies require different skills.
21:06 Having a basic understanding of financial literacy is crucial.
26:26 Why certain Health Tech companies fail and why others thrive?
31:30 Understand the currencies of healthcare.
32:36 How to identify the best Health Tech companies to work with.
Quotes:"Control Over Career Choices in Medicine: And I thought, I just want to have control over my career and control over knowing where I want to be in 5-10 years time. And I felt that that wasn't happening in the NHS."
— Guy Gross
"Translating Medical Skills to Business: So one of the amazing things that doctors do that other people don't is look at things through a lens of logic. You've got your surgical sieve. You ask questions like, is it before, during or after an organ where you've got a problem? Business is no different. When I consider problems in business, I look at things, is it presales? Is it the problem with landing the sale? Or is it the after sales, for example? And it's a very logical application where we are able to rapidly put together frameworks, I would say more doctors than I know other people around how to solve problems, and that's a massive win."
— Guy Gross
"Personal Growth and Self-Recognition: But when it comes to growing yourself, it's very much about identifying what are your own superpowers. And when I look at that for myself, it's taken me a very long time, probably 15-20 years, to identify in myself what makes me unique as a person. I would say the ability to walk into a room full of smoke and just point directly to the fire."
— Guy Gross
"Understanding Corporate Lifecycle: I've also realized there's different phases of companies, and this is something you don't realize unless you've been through a lot of this. There is the founder part of a journey, which is the ability to overcome inertia with a group of people who have the oomph behind them to stick it out and just get it done by any means necessary. Then you have the growth phase where once you've proved that you've got a thing that works, you need to scale it. A totally different set of skills around identifying, optimizing and managing things as they grow. And then once you're big, you just want someone who's a safe pair of hands to run that. And so you have to identify where you fit in the lifecycle of companies as well, with your temperament and with your skill set."
— Guy Gross
"Understanding Health Tech Failure: The reason why a lot of health tech fails is they completely fail to understand that. If you're talking about a narrative of keeping people well for another ten years and preventing long term disease, the challenge with that is if I'm an investor in that as a health system, then I'm not going to see my money back for ten years. But if I can help you now identify people who are continuously coming back to hospital and stop those people coming back, then that's in year savings."

Have you tried to move to an industry role or set up a business but been set back by the lack of experience, knowledge or the right network? We have launched the Commercial Readiness Course for Doctors so you can gain an added advantage over other applicants and stand out as an experienced doctor who's the right fit for the role you're pursuing.
What are the hiring practices in the health tech sector and what are the crucial qualities you need as a doctor to get the job you want in industry?
In this insightful conversation, Dr. Abeyna Bubbers-Jones engages with Dr. Ben Maruthappu, the current CEO of Cera, a groundbreaking healthcare technology company focusing on home healthcare. They dive into how Ben made the shift from banking to a career in medicine and then to industry using his clinical knowledge, insights, personal experience and leadership skills, shedding light on the mindset shifts and cultural shaping involved to grow a successful business.
The episode also provides valuable insights into healthcare entrepreneurship, the skills doctors already have that act in their favour when making a move to industry and also the mindset shift doctors need to develop to get in and grow in an industry role.
Timestamp
- [05:40] Personal caregiving experience led to creating Cera.
- [07:21] Passion for healthcare led to career choices.
- [10:31] Health and social care workers are burnt out.
- [15:19] Co-founded company to introduce technology in care.
- [18:24] Doctors possess valuable skills for entrepreneurship, leadership.
- [24:26] Recruitment priorities shift with company evolution.
- [25:59] Hiring based on failures, resilience, not credentials and qualifications.
- [32:16] Seeking passionate, motivated, diverse candidates for health tech.
- [36:00] What does making an impact mean?
- [38:02] Metrics and stories drive me as an entrepreneur.
- [39:46] Early company building is tough, and requires sacrifice.
Quotes
"Passion in Healthcare Sector: I continuously try to follow what I'm passionate about and what on a deep level really motivates me rather than necessarily looking at the best job opportunities, I think when you then become an entrepreneur, that's really important because entrepreneurship is tough, and you're going to have difficult experiences."
— Ben Maruthappu
"Tech Innovation in Social Care: And at that time, when I co founded Cera, there weren't many examples of technology being used in social care. Yes, there were in the NHS, in GP practices and hospitals that was emerging, but in social care, really barely any. And so I thought, well, why don't we set something up to do something about it and to make the sector better for frontline staff and then, of course, for patients and then for family members."
— Ben Maruthappu
"Staffing in a Growing Company: Being motivated about making an impact, I think is a crucial part of the DNA of someone who joins a healthcare company."
— Ben Maruthappu
"The Importance of Resilience in Startups: So I tend to really ask people about experiences that they've been through that haven't worked out, what they learned from it and how they responded to it."
— Ben Maruthappu
"Job Interviews in Health Tech: I really love giving people a chance who maybe they haven't been able to focus on their kind of career achievements or their experience placements as much for whatever reasons, but they're very motivated and they want a shot."
— Ben Maruthappu
"Entrepreneurship Insights: The earlier you bring the right talent around you, the easier all this becomes, the more balanced you can be, or even just having a support network. People who advise you or give you the right mentorship, they don't need to be actual team members, they can work. But the faster you get that set up earlier on, that means you are in turn set up for being more successful, not just in a work capacity, but also in a personal capacity as well."
— Ben Maruthappu

Quotes
The Rise of Medical Entrepreneurship: "It just feels like as medics, maybe there's been a sort of rebirth of creativity or a rebirth of opportunity that has led to us all thinking, do you know what? Actually, I can do something alongside my clinical work or there is an opportunity here for me to do something different."
— Jo Watkins [00:03:56 → 00:04:14]
The Challenges of Time Management: "The biggest challenge that I have had and that I continue to have is boundaries and self care and managing my time, because I find that I have to grab pockets of time to run my business."
— Jo Watkins [00:15:59 → 00:16:16]
The Challenges of Running Your Own Business: "There's going to be years and years of your life where you're learning and not being paid and not earning any money."
— Jo Watkins [00:23:30 → 00:23:36]
The Importance of Taking Action and Developing Resilience: "So those people, I think, who are prepared to listen, learn and take action even though they might not feel ready, those are the people that I think generally do very well. I think you've got to have quite tough skin...you have to be able to brush some of that off and be able to dust yourself off and get on with it."
— Jo Watkins [00:29:21 → 00:29:37]
Finding Your Niche: "I think the other problem that we often have as doctors is that we know that we can help lots of different people, and we really struggle with that whole niching down and finding one problem to solve because there are so many that we could."
— Jo Watkins [00:34:32 → 00:34:45]

For those considering a shift from clinical medicine, the book "Beyond the Bedside" by Dr. Sven offers invaluable guidance. We are giving away free copies of the book to the first 10 doctors who email us at team@medicfootprints.org with one thing you have unlearnt when listening to this episode!
Timestamped Overview:
- [00:02:12] Experience, unlearning, introducing CEO of Halitus.
- [00:04:07] Medical student's epiphany led to snakebite antitoxin.
- [00:08:33] Getting to the top 2% requires a lot of time investment.
- [00:13:20] Micro learning is important; experience is becoming less relevant.
- [00:16:06] Rely on Google, Chat GPT, outsource tasks.
- [00:19:44] Choosing between two options: shortage or mindset.
- [00:22:35] Leveraging doctor's licence for side jobs.

Standout Quotes:
The Impact of Choosing a Challenging Path: "I think if you have only a limited amount of time in life and it's going to be hard anyway, why not do something where it's hard? But the return, the social return and also maybe the personal return is higher than you otherwise could have turns out also."
— Sven Jungmann [00:06:17 → 00:06:33]
The Power of Diversification: "And if you instead say, well, actually, I'm going to learn two things, or maybe even three things, and I'm trying to get in the top 20%, then your relative return on the time invested in order to get there is much higher."
— Sven Jungmann [00:09:26 → 00:09:40]
The Pressure to Keep Learning: "Oh, yeah. I think what I often hear from doctors is this constant sense of not being good enough or well trained enough, or there's some certificate lacking that gives you this official permission to do X, Y, or Z."
— Sven Jungmann [00:11:35 → 00:11:48]
The Rise of Micro Learning: "And what's much more important is the ability to access knowledge and also to make sense of it and communicate it to others and to interrogate computer systems in an intelligent way."
— Sven Jungmann [00:14:04 → 00:14:15]
The Changing Definition of Medicine in the Digital Age: "There are a lot of medical professions that are not directly involved in patient care, and nobody would question that, right? But suddenly, if you work on a digital health solution, or if you are in medical journalism or other decision making aspects or whatever, that touch medicine, somehow it often gets questioned."
— Sven Jungmann [00:20:22 → 00:20:41]
The Myth of the Risk-Taking Founder: "Yeah, I fully agree. So there's this often unspoken fact about founding, for example, and is that you always think founders are big risk takers people. They jump off a cliff, and then they start building the airplane as they fall, and then somehow it works in one out of ten cases."
— Sven Jungmann [00:23:32 → 00:23:53]
The Importance of Adaptability: "The things that got me here, they might not get me wherever I want to go now, and maybe even they might hold me back."
— Sven Jungmann [00:31:34 → 00:31:42]
"Beyond the Bedside: It is okay that you think about it."

In a comprehensive dialogue between Dr. Satya Raghuvanshi, VP of Clinical at Accurx, and Dr. Abeyna Bubbers-Jones, Dr. Raghuvanshi provides deep insights into considerations and philosophies around product development, networking, and recruitment in healthcare and tech-oriented roles. How can you use your curiosity thinking and put yourself at a competitive edge when applying for jobs.
This episode blends practical advice for aspiring professionals with an insider’s view of recruitment and team-building strategies from a leadership perspective.
Timestamped overview
- [00:02:27] First pediatric Hackathon sparked interest in healthcare.
- [00:06:00] Appreciating product thinking, clinical experience, collaboration.
- [00:10:19] Growing clinical team, emphasizing empathy for healthcare.
- [00:14:44] Speak to people, understand how they think.
- [00:16:06] Left pediatric training early for health tech.
- [00:20:03] Doctors need curiosity and connection for leadership.
- [00:23:36] Hiring for potential, flexible thinking & collaboration.
- [00:28:52] Equal vote in lunch, standardized interviews, assessing leadership.
- [00:30:14] "360 view of a person is difficult"
Standout Quotes:
Working in Health Tech: "Whilst I love pediatrics, love clinical medicine, definitely wanted to use my brain in a different way to solve very unbound and often complex challenges in healthcare end to end using technology."
— Satya Raghuvanshi [00:03:59 → 00:04:13]
The Importance of Product Thinking and Collaboration: "One was a really deep appreciation of product thinking and how you translate your clinical experience and your clinical background into product development...also just the ability to collaborate...can you work effectively with engineers, can you work effectively with product managers to deliver an end to end solution?"
— Satya Raghuvanshi [00:06:02 → 00:06:13]
Product Development in Healthcare: "Good products should solve a problem."
— Satya Raghuvanshi [00:15:44 → 00:15:45]
Upskilling and Entrepreneurial Spirit: "I think there's quite a lot of activity based things. So hackathons, fellowships, courses that you can do that helps upskill you and lots of those are subsidized or accessible on online forums, et cetera. So you'll get lots of different opportunities there to be able to generally upskill. I think there's something to be said for that kind of almost entrepreneurial spirit in the sense of solving problem within your existing care setting."
— Satya Raghuvanshi [00:21:41 → 00:22:46]
Hiring based on Potential and Flexibility: "So we also don't hire for skills. We hire things like we're not expecting anyone to have done product development who have come from a health tech company. We're looking for people who show potential. And by potential, I mean can you think flexibly around a problem? Can you have fixed ideas? But actually, are you open to those fixed ideas being challenged when you're given more contextual information or something that maybe doesn't quite fit with the answer you didn't?"
— Satya Raghuvanshi [00:23:41 → 00:24:10]
Cultural Fit in an Organization: "One of the big red flags for me is when somebody's really derogatory if they work in primary care and they're derogatory about their secondary colleagues or that's actually anticipated to the mission what we're trying to achieve. And if you come in with that opinion, but you're also not willing to say, hey, this problem and this is something I want to solve or get to make better. That will be a bit of a red flag to me."
— Satya Raghuvanshi [00:25:58 → 00:26:17]
Importance of Team Dynamics: "So we always invite people to come and have lunch with the team because they have an equal vote in whether or not that person joins. And so that, I think is quite important because something that I found is where you have that imbalance actually ends up causing so much disruption down the line."
— Satya Raghuvanshi [00:28:52 → 00:29:08]

Standout Quotes:
The Future of Healthcare: "I often remember talking, this now doesn't stand true because it's so ubiquitous. But way back when I was like every single patient that came in, I remember when I was in SHO, just mentally tracking that every single parent had a mobile phone. So 15 years ago, when people were like should we or shouldn't we be doing stuff on a mobile phone?"
— Dr. Umang Patel [00:02:24 → 00:03:29]
"Skills for Success in Medtech: 'Being part of an MDT is vital for success.'"
— Dr. Umang Patel [00:04:36 → 00:04:40]
"Developing Humility and a Growth Mindset: 'You do have to eat your own ego...there's a lot of humility that you have to be able to display in order to be able to get on with people and move things through the teams. Isn't it amazing to then think about it?"
— Dr. Umang Patel [00:07:38 → 00:07:49]
The Importance of Perspective: "I wouldn't have survived Babylon without having the energy on a Friday to be like, oh, this is why we're doing it, this is why you have to go through all of the ups and downs because it really is important."
— Dr. Umang Patel [00:21:15 → 00:21:25]
"The Importance of Delivering Ten Times the Value: What are you going to do that's going to be ten times the salary that you want? What can I give back to? How could I do that and what am I really good at doing?"
— Dr. Umang Patel [00:24:53 → 00:24:56]
Finding Your Skill Set: "It took me about five years before I worked out that I liked to communicate and explain things more than I liked, say, doing the governance behind it."
— Dr. Umang Patel [00:26:02 → 00:26:15]
Finding Success as a Clinician: "In my experience, you don't [need additional qualifications], but you do need to have that ability to get your energy from a place that will keep you going."
— Dr. Umang Patel [00:33:49 → 00:33:57]
Conclusion: It's crucial to think beyond our clinical training. Our experiences and skills outside academia shape us as individuals, impacting our mindset and potential. It’s not about collecting qualifications but rather doing the pre-work, building a network and delivering 10 times the value.

In this episode, we dive deep into a topic many of us shy away from: failure. Dr. Ally Jaffee, is a Co-founder of Nutritank, a nutritional education platform for healthcare professionals. We explore her own journey of overcoming setbacks starting from failing to get into medical school, and how embracing failure can be pivotal for growth.
Highlights:
- [00:00:04] Dr. Abeyna Bubbers-Jones introduces Dr. Ally Jaffee and sets the tone for the conversation about embracing failures.
- [00:01:43] Dr. Jaffee shares what drives her: Passion. Her mantra of 'work hard -> achieve passion' keeps her moving forward.
- [00:03:18] Both doctors reflect on the challenges they faced in getting into medical school and the importance of perseverance.
- [00:08:13] Dr. Jaffee talks about the development of her interest in nutrition during a gap year, laying the foundation for Nutritank.
- [00:10:10] Strategies for navigating challenges and being vocal in a hierarchical system like the healthcare industry.
- [00:14:28] The importance of open conversations, challenging biases, and promoting mental health awareness among medical professionals.
- [00:17:02] Embracing failure and its role in growth and learning. The power of reframing failures as opportunities.
Standout Quotes:
The Importance of Passion and Self-Nourishment: "Passion is what drives me and allows me to keep wanting to push, push, push, and break the glass ceiling and push boundaries."
— Dr. Ally Jaffee [00:03:09 → 00:03:17]
Fighting Against the Odds: "Going into upper six, my last year of school was really daunting because my teachers were telling me not to bother applying for medicine. And they said to me that I should just go with my strengths, and that was languages, that was my English literature A."
— Dr. Ally Jaffee [00:06:52 → 00:07:12]
Passion for Holistic Healthcare: "So on the year out, which I am so grateful for, and do believe that a lot of the time life happens for you rather than to you. So when I couldn't join all my friends who were going off to university first time round, and I was kind of on my own, I was working, saving up to go traveling and reapplying for medical school. That was when I developed my interest for nutrition and just healthy living in general, because I was curious, I had time, I went traveling. Food was always fascinating to me, and one way or another, I started just reading more about the evidence basis around nutrition to not only prevent chronic disease, but also manage it. And then I started medical school already primed. With that passion for holistic healthcare."
— Dr. Ally Jaffee [00:08:36 → 00:09:25]
"When to Assert Yourself and When Not to": "My biggest piece of advice is if you are of the change making kind of caliber and you have an appetite for just not sitting with the status quo, is realize that there's a time and a place and respect and humility is very important and knowing when to assert yourself and when not to."
— Dr. Ally Jaffee [00:10:11 → 00:10:33]
The Truth Behind Success Stories: "And there's a diagram with it's basically a before and an after. And it's just a grid and you see lots of ticks, ticks, ticks, ticks, ticks, which signified the successes and it's the after, which are the ticks all in those same grid places, but there are crosses all around them. And that's the part of the grid that you don't see."
— Dr. Ally Jaffee [00:20:35 → 00:20:54]
The Importance of Normalizing Failure: "So I think it's so important about normalizing it and actually having senior leaders in particular talk about their failures when they were younger, but also right now in their very senior positions because we shouldn't be putting anyone on a pedestal and we shouldn't be thinking that we can't do anything."
— Dr. Ally Jaffee [00:21:13 → 00:21:30]
Conclusion:
See failures not as roadblocks but as stepping stones. It's about the journey, not just the destination. And sometimes, the most significant lessons come from the detours.

Your great ideas need to be known to the world. That is why finding your voice through your personal brand and building your credibility and authority is crucial. But how can you best do that as a way forward in your career outside of conventional medicine?
Tune in as we talk about amplifying that without fear of backlash from people who are not doing it. To discuss this, we are joined by the internet personality Dr Karan Rajan; a surgeon, an self-styled online educator tackling health misinformation with crazy figures in social media with millions of followers.
Among the things he shares for anyone starting on social media is to embrace trials and errors, experiment with different ideas and learn quickly from the mistakes. You also need to be a data nerd, working closely with your analytics to see what works and what doesn’t and adjusting accordingly. Though copying someone’s online recipe and getting the same results is difficult, there are foundational basics that anyone can use to get their traction. This involves engaging with your client through telling a story. Do you want to get more of these golden tips? Then, tune in.
What You Will Learn:
- [00:01] Intro and what is in with our guest, Dr Karan Rajan
- [01:52] Why Dr Karan chose social media to amplify his voice
- [03:52] How he has been able to command a big following and authority online
- [06:14] Knowing what and when to post based on your target audience
- [08:43] Dr Karan’s process of ensuring every single word in his content counts
- [12:04] How he keeps grounded in his mission and vision despite the hard work

- [32:30] Episode wrap-up and call to action
Standout Quotes:
- “Most of the stuff we see online is questionable with no level of accountability, and YouTube in particular. However, experts in the health space are doing what they can to combat that.” - Dr Abeyna [03:25]
- “Nearly no one starts on social media knowing what is really involved. It is always a matter of trial and error, experimenting and learning very quickly from the errors.”- Dr Karan [04:01]
- “It is very hard for someone’s social media recipe to work for you. A lot of the social media engagement and traction that large creators may get is based on luck and the creators’ innate personality. You cannot replicate that.”- Dr Karan [06:18]
- “There are foundational basics that anyone can use to get traction online. The secret is about engaging someone from start to finish. This is best done by telling a story.”- Dr Karan [06:48]
- “Many of these social media algorithms have the same metrics which reward creators. They reward creators who can keep the audience on the platform for as long as possible.”- Dr Karan [07:10]

- ”Selling yourself is about making it easy for the recruiter or the hiring manager to make a decision about you; if you don’t make it easy for them to make a decision, you can’t get a call.”- Dr Abeyna [18:47]
- ‘A lot of MedTech companies are different, but it is all about flexibility, openness, understanding the commercial and cultural aspects, and doing your homework so that you can get through the recruitment process and transition to the environment if you get a job.” - Dr Abeyna [27:24]

We chat about making the move from clinical medicine to non-clinical medicine and the range of opportunities and various avenues that can be explored.
If you want to understand what you need to achieve success and the financial stability you want in health tech and Pharma with a career that pays well, listen in and find out how
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I was very curious to understand how medical drugs are designed, produced and distributed so I gained additional education in marketing and sales and joined a pharmaceutical company whilst continuing with my clinical experience
- When you are asked questions at an interview about marketing and sales and you know the answers it’s much easier to get a job
- You have to have knowledge beyond knowing how to treat, this knowledge alone won’t help to build a health tech product
- To understand who you are you need to try different things and explore how you can provide value
- This company is a motivational tool and with equity you can benefit as it grows
- If you are looking to change career and manage your money effectively get the right advice and a good accountant

Dr Catherine Hyatt is a portfolio GP and clinical content expert and in this episode, we deep dive into how she developed clarity on what she wanted to do and positioned herself as a clinical content expert
We discuss what Catherine did to get her first break as a content writer whilst working as a full time GP. The realities of what 'Reaching Out' means and the work it took to get a gig writing for international publication Red magazine
How she made a decision on whether to work for free or not as her first main role in industry and Catherine shares essential insights on how other doctors can effectively position themselves to get the opportunity they want
KEY TAKEAWAYS
A portfolio career was borne out of passion and partly out of necessity
I have always enjoyed writing and enjoyed reading but hadn’t translated how I could do that as a medic
Reaching out involved multiple emails to get people's attention
It comes across if you are excited by an idea
Working for free can help with relationships and networking but knowing your worth is important
If there isn’t a financial remuneration you need to evaluate the value all those involved are gaining
It was a two stage interview with both the creative team and CRM team
When you work with the CRM team you understand more about the extensive range of content that you may not realise is content before you are in the role
There has always been content creation but the growth has been phenomenal
Get really clear on what you want to do and what you are offering to a company
It's not enough now to just be a doctor who wants to get out of doctoring
Linkedin is a really good space to develop your personal brand and a sense of who you want to be career wise
BEST MOMENTS
‘People respond really well if your enthusiasm comes through’
‘Having exposure into a different type of company is super helpful’
‘In the last year content creation has just blown up’
‘Linkedin has completely changed my career trajectory in the last two years’

In this episode, I’m talking to the co-founder of Peerr, Abdul Rahyead about the journey that led to the creation of Peerr, a platform that enables content creators to share what they know
We also discuss content creation as a career for doctors and why being a content creator can increase the surface area of the opportunities that will come your way and help you to get the roles that you really want
Listen in and hear great advice from Abdul on getting started in content creation and sharing your passion and knowledge
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Medics don’t really know how their value is and don’t know what to charge for their work outside of their 9 to 5 job
- We could see the content creator market booming, people wanted the acknowledgement and the financial benefit
- There was a need for a platform for medics to create content where they could also earn money and Peerr has developed into a range of modalities for teaching
- Brands are happy to pay and sponsor influencers for content
- If you can combine and collect everyone’s content together and combine the reach brands are more interested
- It’s collectively putting out that content and getting that reach
- We see the future as the vast majority of professionals will be content creators on the side
- Peerr is a platform that brings everything together on one platform for professionals
- The most powerful things you can do to monetise content is to build distribution and an audience
- Identify the people who are consuming the content and then get in front of them
BEST MOMENTS
‘Brands are now more interested because that’s what they are paying for reach’
‘It’s creating an economy, an eco-system where the financial benefits are kicked back to the creators’
‘All doctors have to learn to be their own best self-marketers in the way that’s right for them’

For many, childcare costs outweigh their salary, making it difficult to make ends meet. Furthermore, a demanding career in medicine can lead to burnout and exhaustion. As such, many are turning to alternative professions that allow them to spend more time with their families while still providing a stable income.

Standout Quotes:
“As a medic, focusing on that one circle of life is unusual. There is family, relationships, hobbies, and things you like.” - Dr Sola [03:14]
“Before women become mothers, they are very ambitious to get their teeth into many avenues and opportunities, but that slowly dwindles with parenting.”- Dr Sola [09:15]
“Sometimes we are forced to make tough decisions when the money stops coming.”- Dr Sola [10:26]
“Having children is a great reason to push things forward. It is also a demonstration of women’s potential and what they can do in the world as doctors too.’- Dr Abeyna [11:49]
“Most mothers are leaving medicine for other alternative careers because they realize it’s hard to juggle all the demands of motherhood and medicine or the cost of child care is more than the pay they get as a doctor.”- Dr Abeyna [18:28]
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As a medic, you can become very focused on that one circle in your life but there are many circles in life including family, hobbies and other things you enjoy
- You are really not the same person when you go back after maternity leave
- Maternity leave is a space where you are going through a lot of changes, it’s a time to reassess and re-prioritise
- There are lots of opportunities in podcasting and it’s been an opportunity for me to step out and try something new
- Don’t be afraid to step out and try something new and maternity leave is a great time to explore a side hustle

- Funding is a business function and is integral because without sustainable finance you can’t move forward
- Outsource non-income generating tasks so you can focus on bringing revenue into the business
- Separating who you are from what you do, being a doctor, is pivotal in understanding what you have to offer
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you contact the right person they are open to it, they are looking to learn as much as you are’
‘Don't build something before you know if people want it’
‘People have to feel pain about something to want to do something about it’

If you are searching for small business ideas for doctors then you need to tune in to this episode.
I'm talking with Dr Behrooz Behbod, The Entrepreneur’s Doctor, one of the successful medical doctors in business about how he supports health professionals to move successfully into the business space without burnout.
In this reflective discussion he explains how creating the space to think is a vital element for medical doctors in business who want to innovate and discusses how as an entrepreneur, you have the freedom to design a business conducive to the world that you want to be in and fulfills your work life balance needs.
Listen in to hear more about why this is a great career opportunity for doctors.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You are always looking to grow and improve
- I was interested in entrepreneurship and began by informally helping others
- I was risk-averse so started with a side hustle sharing my expertise and wisdom
- I’m a public health clinician and as part of that role I coach, teach, consult and mentor
- What determines our health is looking beyond the hospital setting
- We need research as a skillset but the new knowledge needs to be used to innovate and it requires entrepreneurship to make it happen
- We all share common threads, seeing the problem and wanting to find a solution
- Slowing down and creating space is the key to being able to see things more clearly and think
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s a part-time business, but I really love it’

The cost of living is increasing, doctors are talking about striking again, inflation is sky-high, and we’re headed for a recession.

In this episode of Disrupting Doctors Career podcast, your host, Dr Abeyna, talks about why a recession is a great opportunity to reconsider and rethink your strategy for a career change. She also expands on ways to mitigate your career moves to recession-proof your career and why learning these skills now is essential for your survival in the alternative career path you want to follow.
Listen in to learn how you can move forward and actively find what career opportunities are available for doctors, how to use your transferable skills in alternative career pathways, even when it seems very risky, and discover how healthcare can be recession proof.
Recession is the best time to reflect on what you need to invest in to position yourself during and after to knock out the opportunities you want.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- [04:18] Breaking the myths around career change
- [06:23] Recession and how it affects us as doctors

- “When you’re applying for a job or uncovering an opportunity, people are likely to offer you an opportunity if they like you, think that you can get on with their team and have shared values, rather than focusing on your technical skills.’- Dr Abeyna [11:42]

Dr Julian Nesbitt entrepreneur and founder of the Dr Julian Medical group talks with me about his journey as a doctor leaving medicine and founding a health tech business.
We discuss the huge value of doctor-founded health tech companies and how his positioning and unique insights helped him to grow and scale in a competitive market.
As Dr Julian explains if you are looking for a career change, doctors make the best founders of health tech companies because of the unique insights they have.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It was having a clear mission about improving access to mental health services. My motivation was about building something that could help people
- It’s about giving choice and empowerment to patients, we now have a sophisticated system that gives access to the people who are best suited to them
- It is about understanding where the market is now and the doctor's instinct helps
- As a doctor, you understand the clinical need and the needs of the health organisation that you are selling to
- The way into the NHS is to find something they are desperate for and want to come to you for
- Everyone should network as much as possible to uncover all the available opportunities
- If you are passionate about something you just need to go and do it
BEST MOMENTS
‘As a doctor, you understand what patients are saying to you and the doctor instinct means you understand the market better than someone who’s developing it from a tech perspective’
‘Recognise the unique insights you have as a doctor’
‘The more networking and friends you make the easier, it becomes’

- Get paid your worth
- Avoid spending money on unnecessary extra qualifications
- Uncover what career opportunities are available for doctors - that aren’t even advertised

How Do You Create a Standout Non-Medical CV?
Creating a stand-out CV for non-medical roles, particularly in industry can be challenging but as I share in this episode, there are 4 key principles that can help you to focus and support you in crafting a stand-out CV.
Your CV is ultimately your passport, a summary of you inviting employers to find out more, so creating a stand-out CV is key in getting the non-medical role you want.
This episode gives you the opportunity to find out:
- Common mistakes doctors make when crafting their non-medical CV
- Why your 15-page medical CV with a list of all your hospital jobs, just won’t do in the non-medical world
- An overview of the key strategies for applying to jobs
- The benefits of putting yourself in the shoes of a recruiter when crafting a stand-out non-medical CV
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It’s key to understand what your value is to the employer
- Important aspects for employers are values, culture fit and understanding the role
- LinkedIn can communicate dynamically what you can do
- Your CV is your passport – a summary of you, inviting people to find out more
- There are varied approaches to applying for new roles - the front door, the side door and the back door
- The best CVs are concise, highlight your valuable skill set, unique selling points and are one page
- Make your CV easy to skim read and include keywords
- Produce a CV written with one employer in mind
- To write a successful CV you need to know the industry you are applying for
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s a completely different setting going from applying for clinical and medical roles to non-medical and industry roles'
‘You want to stand out and be remembered for the right things’
‘There are lots of opportunities for doctors out there’

Is it worth your time, life, and energy to become a Consultant in your chosen medical specialty? Especially when being a Consultant in the NHS isn't the holy grail it once used to be.
I’m with Dr Ola Abbas, Founder's Associate at Medic Footprints and a dually trained Consultant in Acute Medicine and Intensive Care, talking about the misconceptions around getting to the top, salary, leadership and management training and the alternatives to becoming a Consultant.
We also discuss the questions you need to ask when looking at making a change and why Ola is divorcing the NHS despite being a Consultant in two specialties.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- What I thought it would be is not what it really is really is.
- In the private sector, it's more streamlined, and efficient and things get done. There is a result, payment is better and there is recognition.
- As doctors, we don’t think about the different ways we can use our skills.
- When I got into business, I realised I was trading my time and skills for very little money in the NHS.
- You have to work your way through projects, leadership, management, and teaching to move up as a Consultant.
- Make sure you have the appropriate expectations for the job and top up your financial education.
- It's not about the salary at the end of the day, there are more priorities in life.
- I can see what’s out there and that I can have a bigger voice and make a positive impact in other avenues that speak to my passion.
- I’m divorcing the NHS and for me, it’s to be in alignment with my values and honor my priorities in life.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We are massively underpaid for the risk and responsibility we take on.’
‘As a consultant, 95% of my job is managing people and politics and 5% is clinical.’
‘When you get to consultant level you have to keep climbing the mountain to distinguish yourself from other consultants.’
‘It's about values, recognition and having a voice.’

Episode Question: Do I need more qualifications to get started on an alternative career?
I’m looking at one of the most common questions asked by Doctors who are looking at alternative careers and sharing an overview of why it’s important to understand how a qualification will help, its value and what the alternative options are.
If you are looking at an alternative career it's completely doable without additional qualifications because as doctors we bring considerable skills and experience so understanding the value and reasons for additional qualifications is key
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As doctors, we are institutionalised in exam-taking and academia
- Some of the most successful people in the world do not have any qualifications. They have created value without requiring an institutional stamp
- A lot of doctors who go into occupational medicine don’t do more than a diploma but use their experience as a vocation
- Extra qualifications can be done to establish credibility and authority in a new area and as an opportunity to fill knowledge gaps
- All qualifications have a price in terms of time and money
- There are qualifications and courses and both add value in different ways
- Consider carefully the return on your investment when undertaking a qualification
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can get onto an alternative career without further qualifications, it's completely doable’
‘When you are a doctor considering an alternative career you need to think more laterally’
‘I’m a recovering qualification junkie’

How can You Set up as an Independent Consultant?
In this episode, I look at why doctors make great Consultants in pretty much any area, explaining what’s really important when starting out, from deciding on a niche to knowing how to sell and market yourself in the right way. I also talk through the main pros and cons and how as a doctor you can get started as an independent consultant at any time without giving up your day job, achieving the balance you want in your career.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As an independent consultant, you are your own boss and you can charge whatever you want, getting a better return on investment
- Any doctor at any stage can work as a consultant
- Doctors have wide-ranging knowledge and skills developed in clinical practice and working with diverse people means doctors can work in many varied sectors
- Doctors are regulated professionals bringing credibility and can charge professional fees
- The pricing point is a huge factor in being a successful consultant
- You need 3 core components – a clear niche, span – (strategy, positioning, attention and network) and selling
- You need to become an authority in a specific focused area
- Selling is a core skill you need. It's understanding your selling style and developing a method that works for you
BEST MOMENTS
‘Doctors make great consultants in pretty much any sector
‘In order to become a consultant in an area, you just have to know more than the person you are selling your services to’
‘What is the value of your knowledge and your expertise to the market’

Episode Question:
How do you quit medicine and what does it actually involve?
In this week's episode, I spent some quality time with Dr. Lauretta Ihonor; a medical doctor who realised very early on that Medicine wasn't for her and left to eventually become a Content Strategist, Health Tech Consultant and wellness entrepreneur.. with lots of exciting hats on the way to include Fashion designer and CNN producer!

In this episode, Lauretta shares:
- Why she continued to pursue a career in Medicine despite knowing that it wasn't right for her.
- How she went about quitting her job and the Psychiatric evaluation she was asked to do in relation to this.
- How she explored unrelated fields beyond medicine and ended up in Fashion and later as a producer for CNN.
- Advice she has for doctors who are currently looking at quitting Medicine for good.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Fashion was an experience that was completely opposite to medicine
- If you are moving into a completely different field study opens up internships you can only access as a student
- Age and prior experience helped turn the internship into a job
- Coming from a disadvantaged background can make you seek visibility and external validation
- Put a plan into place before you make a move from your current role

How do we spot and size opportunities when we are working full time?
In this episode, I focus on how you find the best alternative opportunities when you are busy in your current role.
Dr Nooshin Barmania, consultant, respiratory physician and strategy advisor in health care and med tech explains how she created the right opportunity for herself as a CMO of a health tech company through connections she made while working full-time in the NHS.
We also look at the value and skillset she brought to her health tech role and the positive impact of a consultant in a health tech organisation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Managing a quality improvement project created connections with external commercial settings and individuals
- A clinician with overview, exposure and involvement was hugely beneficial
- There is a clinical language and discourse that everyone has in the NHS and that makes things much easier
- There are many skills, including soft skills, such as bringing people with you on the journey, that are vital
- I had a real curiosity for other ways of working and doing things
- Investing in getting to know yourself will help you to see and seize the opportunities
- I was curious about what else I could do using my clinical skills where I was nourishing and making a difference and improving care
- Be bold and brave it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
BEST MOMENTS

To look at this question I’m talking with Dr Will Gao, COO of Suvera Health, a virtual clinical services company.
He shares his personal story and discusses how what he has learned about support and therapy on his own journey has influenced and impacted on how he now supports a thriving community of people in his company.
We also look at whether as doctors we should engage with therapy throughout our careers and how it could be part of a holistic process to support overall wellbeing because not protecting employee's mental health has huge repercussions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Everyone should make their well-being a priority
- My perception of therapy was that it was something I didn’t need, I thought I could just get out of it on my own
- Being a doctor and caring for others is a strong identity and you want to feel you aren’t letting others down
- We should be more open to being vulnerable saying we are not okay
- There was huge value in being able to talk to someone professionally
- For me now, therapy is a preventative and part of maintaining my well being
- Therapy helps you to understand yourself on a much deeper level and in a completely different way
- Trust is a priority in getting the most out of therapy
- People are the assets of your company, the individuals are what’s important and therapy should be offered to everyone
BEST MOMENTS
‘The most important thing is that you trust the person’
‘It’s fundamental to everything to feel well about yourself and think clearly’
‘To support other people you have to be able to look after yourself’

Episode Question: What do GPs look for in a telehealth company?
This is a frequent question in our forums as GPs facing burnout are looking for something that will provide a better work-life balance.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Sherina Fernandes, GP and Clinical Lead at popular doctor-founded telehealth company Doctor Care Anywhere (DCA).
With her considerable experience working in telehealth we discuss the extensive transferable skills that GPs can offer telehealth companies, and the advantages of working in telehealth from flexibility and work-life balance to the many opportunities to progress professionally.
There are now many companies seeking to attract GPs to work with them and this is a great insight into what to look for to find the right telehealth company for you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Any interview is a two-way process. You are also deciding if the company is right for you.
- When you work digitally, you really can help patients and are able to get to know them.
- The user experience with the platform is an important factor.
- A lot of companies prefer employed to self-employed and if you are employed your indemnities are covered.
- Smaller companies are likely to offer more flexibility.
- With a telehealth company, you can do sessions and explore the other opportunities you may want to pursue.
- There are many transferable skills that you have as a GP including extensive communication and risk assessment skills.
- Getting into the clinical lead role has really opened everything up for me.
- Opportunities for me have included public speaking, mentoring and being part of creating protocols and policies about the areas I’m interested in.
- Get involved and let the organisation know what your area of interest is.
- You are more likely to progress with a company if you are there from the beginning.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Now all GPs have experience in working digitally and managing patientsremotely.’
‘Working with a telehealth company is about seeing patients without the stress of everything else.’
‘It was nothing but good when I joined.’

Episode Question: What is the key challenge high-performing doctors face in career moves?
Canadian, Amy Vodarek is a highly influential coach, public speaker, and Founder of Insight Edge whose speciality is supporting women leading high-impact projects as an entrepreneur or within an organisation
We talk about culture and the messages that can contribute to a lack of wellbeing and what happens when individuals get to the point of ‘should I stay or go?’
High-performing professionals need clarity on how to take their expertise and what they enjoy; reshaping it to where they are now.
Amy explains how clarity can be achieved and the possibilities explored to move forward in your career with fulfilment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is a culture of overwork and putting yourself at the bottom of the priority list
- People can want to make change but not know how to go about it
- In some organisations, it can be challenging to find the person who can help
- There needs to be new thinking around how to build a robust career development path that gives people what they need
- If you can’t communicate with the decision makers then you are in the position of looking at the other options available
- When doctors get to the question of should I stay or go? it's important they can gain clarity on the next steps
- How can you take what you enjoy, and are good at and reshape it to where you are in your life now?
- Everything you’ve learned you will take forward with you
- A coach is a listener bringing a unique observer to the conversation
- A listener can help you to see things differently and help you to identify your good life
- Ask yourself ‘How do I reshape my career to do more of what I love with my sweet spot skill set and let go of what’s depleting me?’
BEST MOMENTS
‘I know what it feels like to be trying to make a difference because you care and yet knowing you are missing something’‘I love connecting with doctors and helping them to grow to a place where they are thriving’’ A coach will help you see what you want when you can’t see it’

Episode Question: Can doctors move into interior design?
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Joanna Draper who completed her core surgical training and then stepped away from her surgical career pathway and moved into a career in interior design
We discuss how she came to the decision to make a change and what training she undertook to move into a career in interior design. Joanna also explains how her medical skill set has enabled her to progress quickly to a leadership position with her current Interior Design employer and candidly reflects with me on whether changing careers was the right decision for her.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As I progressed in my medical career I craved doing something more creative
- I don’t regret doing medicine because I wanted to know that I could do it
- In the end, I reached a place of burnout, realised I couldn’t sustain it and began to realise I was sacrificing too much of my life
- I looked at what I enjoyed as a starting point and rediscovered interior design
- Spending a year as a surgical HO was an opportunity to look at which area of medicine I might want to specialise in and ultimately confirmed for me that I wanted to make a change
- Stepping away is hard because of the time spent training and the investment that has been made
- Interior design does lend itself to transferable skills
- My job is 10% creative and 90% logistical operations and makes effective use of the logistical skills I brought from being a doctor
- College provided the network of contacts that meant that I was offered a role at the business where I interned
- This is not an industry that pays hugely and the best financial benefits come through being part of the management team or having your own studio
BEST MOMENTS
‘My company is select and we work with high net worth individuals’
‘The skillset from medicine was valued and gave me an advantage
‘My training as a doctor means I can keep things in perspective’

How do you turn your health tech idea into reality as a doctor?
I’m talking to Dr Michael Watts co-founder of Blüm Health, a software development company founded by clinicians and engineers who are enabling digital health innovation by supporting solo entrepreneurs and NHS trusts to turn ideas into reality
We focus on the steps needed to take an initial concept to the point of delivery and discuss the potential challenges.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Recognising the skills you bring to the team and working with people with complementary skills is key
- Effective time management, surrounding yourself with people who have the skills to solve the problem with you and accessing the right network for funding are crucial
- Find a team, find the time, and understand the landscape you will have to navigate
- Academic health science networks and accelerators are there to speed up the process
- Change occurs when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change
- When you can demonstrate that the change you want to implement is an easier way of providing care than what currently exists there is no reason why it shouldn’t be adopted
- There are ways to prove concept before you go to digital
- Experience is everything in software engineering and you need to work with someone who shares the vision
- Look forward and stay reactive to needs and your clients
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’ve had some really impactful projects that we have worked on’

Episode Question: What is the culture like in pharma for doctors?
In this episode John Ndikum, doctor, writer and poet talks with me in depth about a career in pharma, the entry pathways and the foundations you need
We discuss career capital - the fuel you need to advance you to where you want to be in your career and the impact of culture in both start-ups and larger organisations and how to have the difficult conversations
As we go deep this is a great opportunity to hear why you should upskill in the direction you want to go and make every action a tactic in your journey to where you want to be
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Pharma is a popular option due to the breadth and opportunities available
- Career capital is the fuel you need to advance yourself in your career
- Culture is different for everyone and it’s how the workplace feels, how everyone makes each other feel
- Companies that make people feel good are those in the most demand so you need to have good career capital to be considered
- You need to demonstrate what you can do for the company in order to be able to have the conversation
- Recruiters are the bridge between you and the company, they are both collaborators and gatekeepers
- I began being driven by push factors but converted that to being motivated by pull factors
- My mindset is that you need something bigger than you to motivate you
- I want to look back and be proud of who I am and every action now is a tactic towards that end
- Companies can go through pinch points as they grow and bigger companies have the resources to deal with any issues with culture
- A company needs to live by its values and these need to cascade down into each domain
- You can be empirical in the way you translate values and culture into tangible actions
BEST MOMENTS
‘I wanted to make a difference at a population level and use the skills I had’
‘It’s an empirical way of guiding your career’
‘Lots of good moments and lots of learning that have increased my career capital’
‘If you continue to upskill you can become an attractive proposition’

Episode Question: Why do Doctors seek alternative careers in the US vs the UK?
In this, not to be missed episode, I’m introducing you to Dr. John Jurica MD, MPH, CPE, co-founder and career strategist at New Script and the host of the hugely successful Physician Non-Clinical Careers podcast
Dr. John pivoted from clinical to non-clinical work and is passionate about helping other doctors to understand the possibilities and extensive range of alternative opportunities out there.
We discuss the difference between doctors exploring different and diverse careers in the UK and US and take a look at the driving factors for diversification.
Dr. John also shares great information on alternative careers in the US that utilise the inherent and extensive skill sets of doctors
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The systems we find ourselves in, burnt out, taken for granted and taken advantage of after spending thousands of hours learning isn’t right
- I want physicians to know that there are other great options and these can reinspire individuals
- We haven’t been able to achieve any power or leverage in large bureaucratic organisations that mostly don’t recognise us as professionals
- As professionals, we want to be able to meet with our patients and work with them face to face
- There are many alternatives where you can successfully use your medical background to help people, make an income and feel professionally fulfilled
- Diversification is key to keeping your options open and non-clinical work can be part of this
- Doctors have great inherent skill sets, they think analytically and work well in teams making them great people to hire
- If you are going to be an entrepreneur you need to learn how to sell yourself
- If you are diversifying getting an additional certification can help with moving into alternative areas
BEST MOMENTS
‘You need to take advantage of the alternatives out there’
‘Public health could be a good way to get into the system in the US’
‘I’m dedicated to finding different ways to help physicians’
‘There are at least twenty major consulting firms that hire physicians on a regular basis’

‘How senior a doctor, do you need to be to a Chief Medical Officer?’
In this episode I am joined by Dr Johnny Andrews to discuss the role of a Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and what it really takes to be one.
Is seniority as a doctor a key factor in whether you can get this role?
Johnny himself has made the journey to CMO from Foundation year 2 level and shares great insights into the role and what it takes along with great tips on what YOU can do to effectively position yourself to make it to Chief Medical Officer at a company of your choice.
Oh.. and we mention 'CCT'.. a lot.. and didn't explain the acronym for those not familiar with the term. It means 'Certificate of Completion of Training' in the UK - where you become the golden child.. AKA Consultant or the point where you've finished your training in that specialty.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Every job and business will want something specific to their unique selling point
- As CMO, you are an executive and leader within the company with managerial responsibilities
- It was my background and exposure to regulatory procedures combined with being proactive about having the conversation
- The size of the company influences the multiple skill sets required

In this episode, I interview one of the most influential podcasters in health tech, Tjaša Zajc host of the ‘Faces of Digital Health’ podcast.
We discuss the questions around how and why a doctor may want to set up a podcast from the benefits through to practicalities, possible formats and why it's vital you are consistent
There are varied reasons for hosting a podcast from the opportunity to amplify your own voice and message to sharing inspiring content from expert guests. If you are thinking about setting up a podcast this is a great listen with a combination of practical advice and aspirational content from someone who is both influential and has a wealth of experience and knowledge in the area of podcasting.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

- There is a wide range of benefits that come with hosting a podcast from increasing your network to learning more and broadening your experiences
- The first thing is to understand what’s out there and work out what you will do that will differentiate you from others
- If you are articulate and have an established brand then your content may just be you talking
- You need to be very consistent in your publishing to succeed you need to form a habit with your audience
- If you are curious about what others think, a format where you interview others could be the right one for you

As a practising Consultant in Occupational Medicine, I offer my perspective on Occupational Medicine as a career choice - made when I was at a significant crossroads (one of many!) in my own medical career.
If you have begun thinking about doing something different in your career, this is a must-listen.
Ultimately all doctors want to make an impact and I explain the positives of this untapped specialty and some of the many advantages for a work-life balance that can be sustainable and relatively lucrative.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We specialise in the relationship between health and work
- A lot of our work is being on the intersection between the employer and employee helping them to navigate their relationships in a healthy way
- Occupational medicine does not require you to work nights or weekends the usual workday is 9 -5
- There are a variety of doctors with a variety of qualifications and experience is a valuable asset
- You can do the CESR route for all medical specialities so that you can DIY your own training
- The Occupational Medicine diploma gives you the best return on investment than any other diploma
- In Occupational Medicine, you can train in the private sector
- There are so many different pathways and opportunities and you can also choose to start your own business
- You do need to be able to work both remotely and on your own and you are providing advice and recommendations not mandates
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s the speciality I’ve been in the longest and I love it’
‘For most opportunities, the most you will be expected to do is 9 to 5
‘It’s a great opportunity that’s flexible and versatile’

In this episode, I tackle the frequently asked question about how to get a job in Health Tech as a doctor.
I explain the 3 main approaches that can be used when looking for a new role and share my unique knowledge on how each can be used in the most effective way
With health tech being a relatively new sector, there are fantastic opportunities you can access as a doctor.
This is an informative listen that provides useful approaches to move you to the role you want to have
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There are 3 main ways of getting a job in health tech – the traditional Front door approach, the Side door – where you enter either traditionally or through project work then move into other roles, and the Back door – through a warm network referral
- The front door approach is the traditional process of applying for a role when it’s advertised
- Many jobs are never advertised so this can limit the roles and opportunities
- The side door approach lets you test out the company you are interested in by doing some project work
- If a company already knows and trusts an individual when something becomes available that individual will be their choice
- With the back door approach, you need to identify anyone you know who can give you a referral, look at your network of colleagues, friends, and family for connections to the area you want to work in
- Events are a great way of meeting new people and building new relationships
- Approximately 20-30% of new hires come from referrals alone
BEST MOMENTS
‘You need someone who can champion you into getting a project or job’
'LinkedIn is a huge network resource for finding other doctors'

In this episode, I discuss the creation of the Medic Footprints platform and why the landscape of career opportunities is changing.
I look at the vital importance of the transferable skill sets that doctors possess and why it’s critical that doctors have access to diverse career opportunities - meaning they can make the impact they want and they are happier and healthier in a career they chose.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Burnout amongst doctors is sky high and many want to use their transferable skills in different ways, beyond the usual career pathways
- Doctors are reaching a point of burnout and leaving
- An interview is a two-way process, the doctor attending the interview has made a decision to attend and the company is interviewing because they see someone who is an asset
- We are not just a number or a statistic we are talented, ambitious human beings who joined medicine and healthcare to help and support patients
- Medical careers were generally designed to be a one size fits all as it fits into workforce planning
- A one size fits all solution is not a sustainable one and it will continue to be a problem as we move into the future of work
- Doctors are one of the most talented workforces we have on this planet so it's critical that we make the most of their transferable skills and reach their potential for the benefit of everyone
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m on a mission to connect one million doctors across the world with the best and most diverse career opportunities
‘We are disrupting doctors' careers, transforming the way we think about doctors' roles in the wider healthcare system and in society as a whole’
