    This week our host Elle sits down with Dr Sarah Otung to explore her career change. She is a locum doctor, actress & playwright who made the decision to pursue her underlying passion in the arts shortly after her Foundation Training. You will learn about the pivotal moments that led to her decision, the logistical challenges she faced trying to juggle two careers in parallel & the reality of embracing her new career path which is very different from the world medicine. The conversation with Elle also covers all things from discovering her underlying passion in the arts to Sara's account of her realising that she doesn't fit a conventional medical "mould" to the transferrable skills we ALL have as healthcare professionals. It’s a compelling story filled with emotion, wisdom & practical advice which will give any healthcare professional contemplating a career change A LOT to think about!  - Podcast Details: Email: contactus@theclinicalshift.com Website: https://www.theclinicalshift.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclinicalshift/ Visit our website to subscribe to The Clinical Shift weekly newsletter.
