    S3, Ep. 11: Living The American Dream - Dr. Stella Ogake

    I absolutely love it when a guest introduces me to another guest, this path has been peppered with some serendipitous encounters. 4 stand out in this season and this is one of them. There are a number of clinicians who have considered learning, training and practising in America and so I jumped on the opportunity to hear about Dr. Stella Ogake’s medical education safari spanning from Eldoret, Kenya to landing in the USA.  This Professor and Associate Program Director of the Pulmonary and Critical care fellowship at Ohio State University shares her journey that is a blend of resilience, motivation and a passion for her unique combined specialty. You really do not want to miss out on this chat especially if you are considering studying and working abroad.

    The safari this week takes us all the way to Malaysia where my dear friend Dr. Hana Shamsuddin, a family physician, specialised in adolescent medicine takes us through her journey of life, family, duty and passion as she talks about her motivations, her challenges and where her medical education journey has currently led her to.

    S3, Ep. 9 - Part 2: Finding The Joy In Babies - Dr. Phanice Okara

    Today’s safari takes us down a path that a lot of paediatricians have contemplated as a specialty. A significant number of paediatricians naturally gravitate towards neonatology as a specialty, and many have argued that it is the foundation of paediatrics. I had the fortunate opportunity of sitting with Dr. Phanice Okara who chose the road less travelled in the world of neonatology. Her mastery of words as she brings her stories to life was truly a treat as she shares her safari of neonatology training across two continents, navigating different health care systems, social bonds and where she is now. Should you decide to get in touch directly, she can be reached on drphaniceokara@gmail.com.
