What began as a makeshift TV interview in her bedroom — and even one from the driver’s seat with her kids in the back — grew into a national platform that landed Dr. Shikha Jain on evening news segments and even at the Emmy Awards. In this episode, she opens up about why she kept saying yes to unpaid media opportunities, how they sharpened her communication skills, and the unexpected ways they’ve shaped her career and credibility.

Beyond the media spotlight, Dr. Jain also dives into her mission to fight misinformation and build community through the Women in Medicine Summit. What started as a small gathering has become a powerful nonprofit changing the landscape of healthcare leadership. She shares why fixing the system, not the women, is the key to keeping more women in medicine — and how collective action is transforming both medicine and patient care.
