In this episode exploring alternative paths in medicine, we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Seema Yasmin, an Emmy-award winning journalist, author, medical doctor, and professor. We discussed her multifaceted career and all the transition points she encountered along the way. She covers her journey from clinical practice, to public health work as an EIS officer, to journalism, authorship, and professorship. We talk about how scary it can be to “step off the conveyor belt” in the world of medical training and forge a new path, as well as the ways different opportunities and interests work together to create a life that is varied, fulfilling, and impactful. She shares lessons learned, career advice, and goals for the future.
