    “Who Are You Without the White Coat?” | Dr Anu on Expanding Medicine Beyond the Hospital

    What happens when a doctor realises impact doesn’t stop at the bedside? In this episode of Postcall: Stories Beyond the White Coat, Dr Selina Chew sits down with Dr Anurag Ganugapati — a frontline doctor, founder of StatDoctor, and board member of the Australian Society for Medical Entrepreneurship & Innovation (ASME). Dr Anurag Ganugapati reflects on: - The early realities of being a doctor in Australia - The emotional challenges young doctors face - Rediscovering his love for medicine - The patients that left a permanent imprint — and the ones that got away - How those experiences shaped the way he sees healthcare today We also explore how he founded StatDoctor, and how it is transforming the locum and healthcare staffing landscape — making shift-filling more transparent, efficient, and doctor-focused. This episode answers important questions many clinicians quietly ask: - Can doctors become entrepreneurs without leaving medicine? - What is a portfolio doctor — and is that the future of medical careers? - How is the locum scene changing in Australia? - Can doctors build systems while still caring for patients? - Will AI replace doctors? This is not a startup story. It’s a conversation about identity, purpose, and expanding what it means to be a doctor in modern healthcare. If you’re a doctor questioning your path, exploring innovation, or wondering whether medicine has to be linear — this episode is for you.
