What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
Personally, I've always been fascinated by medical science. I enjoy rapidly learning about clinical indications, which are specific kinds of diseases, and developing that technical knowledge. Becoming almost obsessed with a subject is very motivating for me.
This has happened especially with wound care. I love to expand my knowledge and keep learning. I never expected to end up more on the business and administration side of things.
In high school, I only wanted to be a doctor. I didn't realize that doctors often can't provide holistic patient care. They are understaffed and pressed for time, making appointments feel like transactions.
The human aspect is what's missing in healthcare. I noticed I could spend more time with patients and have a greater impact by not being the practitioner, but by knowing the science and the next best steps.
I want to take the time to sit and listen to patients, not just look at the clock and end the appointment when they're in the middle of something stressful. This is what I love most about this industry.
From a business standpoint in healthcare, you really have the power to change how someone experiences healthcare. This is so important today, as the healthcare system can be difficult to navigate.
