05/26/23 • 62 min
Things we talked about
- How she got her first job in digital health already during her studies
- Why she decided to continue working in digital health upon graduating versus working in a hospital
- How it’s like to work from Bali: Surfing, productivity, time zone differences, coworking spaces
- Why working in a different time zone makes her more productive
- An example of a study they did in Tanzania which compared mid-level healthcare professionals using software versus physicians without software (with very interesting results)
- How a typical work day looks like for her
- How she had to start managing people a few months in to her job
- Why she’s considering going back to work in the hospital to work as a physician in Dermatology some time in the future
