The Limitless MD Pivoting to Pharma/Biotech with Dr. Nerissa Kreher
Many physicians experience unhappiness and burnout in their daily jobs. But this can be changed. There is information available that can help you or someone you know to transition into other career opportunities. Pharma and biotech are two possible options, and Dr. Nerissa Kreher, today’s guest, will explain more about these paths.
Dr. Nerissa Kreher is a Pediatric Endocrinologist who realized she had other passions to pursue outside of traditional clinical medicine. As a result, she got an MBA from Northeastern University and, while working in research, decided to pivot into the pharma/biotech industry.
Having more than 15 years of experience working for different companies, Dr. Nerissa Kreher also coaches other physicians looking to transition from clinical work to being in pharma.
These are some of the topics we cover during the episode:
- Statistics about physicians who made the jump to pharma
- How much money can you make if you work in pharma?
- The lifestyle of people working in pharma/biotech companies
- Mistakes physicians make when trying to change jobs
- The one characteristic that the most successful physicians have in common
Dr. Nerissa Kreher decided to share her knowledge to elevate the profession. The biggest problem is not physicians being unqualified but getting in their own way. To succeed, removing impostor syndrome is crucial.
Physicians have the skillset and knowledge to change their career path if they want to do it. First, however, they need to believe in themselves and apply strategically for these different opportunities.
The chance of pivoting from an unfulfilled career to a dream position is very real.
“The pharma/biotech industry can be incredibly fulfilling. There are multiple different roles that physicians can do, and so there is a nice fit for most physicians out there.” - Dr. Nerissa Kreher
