What Type Of Person Thrives In The Healthcare Industry According To A Clinical Business Development Manager At InteliWound
Kayva believes that people who thrive in clinical business development within healthcare genuinely care about improving the patient experience, unlike some individuals in corporate settings who are primarily focused on the work itself, which explains the career professional's transition towards a role where impact is large and where networking with like-minded individuals who will "go the extra mile to do anything for anyone" leads to creating something special in patient care. Ultimately, success in this field comes from having a "helping hand within" and prioritizing patient well-being above all else.

Video Highlights
1. The healthcare industry attracts two types of people: those focused on corporate aspects and those genuinely dedicated to improving the patient experience. Finding a role where the impact is large aligns well with individuals who care deeply about people and projects.
2. Transitioning from a corporate structure to a more service-oriented role allows for greater autonomy in scheduling and networking. It also fosters connections with like-minded individuals who prioritize helping others and going the extra mile.
3. In patient care, a network of professionals who genuinely care creates a supportive environment where patients feel valued and supported in their journey to recovery. This collaborative approach enhances the overall patient experience.

How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
In this industry, you'll encounter a wide range of people. When I was on the corporate side, I noticed something. I'd get along with people really well and have great interactions.
But being honest and yourself, without constantly monitoring every message, can be difficult. When you're not robotic but more naturally conversational, people can sometimes take advantage of that.
I think people in corporate who are focused and narrow on just the work tend to do really well. I had to realize about myself that I care a lot about things, people, and projects.
So, I need to be in an industry where the impact is large because I want to put in a large amount of energy. Within healthcare, you'll meet two kinds of people.
There are those you genuinely wonder why they are in the field. Honestly, some of them are not fully there to improve the patient experience. I can't speak to their reasons.
The best part of transitioning to a field less about corporate and more about service has been meeting more people like me. It's about understanding if the people I work with are the same kind of person.
Do they go the extra mile to do anything for anyone? When you meet more people with a helping nature, it's fulfilling. I'd probably be a terrible business person because I'd do anything for free.
When you meet more people who think this way, you can leverage a network and create something special. Especially in patient care, when a patient sees everyone involved genuinely cares about them.
They want to see them get better, rather than the patient fighting alone for their health. That's what makes my job so great. It's the people who truly care and have that within their hearts who are the best in this field.
