Disrupting Doctors Careers

How can Doctors become Content Creators?

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’

Alternative Careers for Doctor Mothers

As a doctor mother, you are faced with a unique set of challenges. You have to balance the demands of your medical career with the demands of parenting and family life.
Fortunately, there are many alternative career options available to doctor mothers that allow them to pursue their passions while providing them with the flexibility they need to juggle their multiple roles.
From podcasting and consulting to entrepreneurship and creative pursuits, there is no shortage of exciting opportunities for doctor mothers who want to explore alternative careers.
 
In this episode of Disrupting Doctors Career podcast, your host, Dr Abeyna, talks with Dr Sola, who hosts the Mothers In Medicine Podcast. In this episode, they talk about alternative careers for doctor mothers and why mothers in medicine should explore these careers.
Dr Sola also talks about her inspiration, journey and lessons she has learned from starting a podcast as a doctor. She also advises doctor mothers as they navigate the mom's guilt of returning to work.
 
Listen in to learn why the number of mothers leaving medicine for alternative careers is on the rise and what new opportunities are available. 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.

[21:34] Is podcasting a good alternative career for people with other careers?
[25:17] Key takeaway nuggets for mothers who are exploring alternative careers
[27:28] Call to action and end of the show
 
 
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

How to Get a Non-Clinical Health Tech Role as a Doctor

Are you a doctor dissatisfied with your clinical role and seeking an alternative career path? Getting into a non-clinical health tech role might be the answer. 
Medicine is all about continuous learning and making transitions, and as a doctor, you can transition to an alternative career and thrive in it.  The skills you have gained in clinical medicine can be transferred to a non-clinical position, and with the right mentorship from people who have been in your shoes and understand where you are coming from, you can build upon them and set goals with long-term benefits.
In this episode of Disrupting Doctors Career podcast, Dr James Wadkin, a Clinical Partnerships Director at MedShr, shares his clinician journey and transition to an unknown clinical role in health tech. He also expounds on the commercial mindset and how you can get a non-clinical health tech role and thrive in it.

 “No one expects you to be a finished product, on day one, but it’s all about having an attitude being open to new ideas and conversations.”- Dr Wadkin [26:02]
“It’s really important for doctors to have clinical, commercial awareness; bringing you as an individual or doctor into the business is an investment with a return.”- Dr Abeyna [29:24]

How Do You Get Your Health Tech Idea Funded as a Doctor ?

Being a doctor, being passionate, and having a great health tech idea isn’t enough to get funded. You need to define your identity, value, and uniqueness to fill your health tech skill gap and align everything with your dream.

Are Doctor Founded Health Tech Companies Important?

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’
