In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Amandeep Hansra, GP, startup founder, digital health leader, and co-creator of Creative Careers in Medicine, to explore what happens when doctors stop asking, “How do I stay in medicine?” and start asking, “Where else can I make a difference?”

Drawing on her journey from clinical practice to leading roles in telehealth, startups, and policy, Amandeep unpacks why leaving the hospital system isn’t failure, it can be the start of your most meaningful work. She explains how doctors can repurpose their medical expertise across digital health, entrepreneurship, consulting, and policy, and why the real investment is in yourself, not just the next job title.

We also discuss the bigger picture: the silent wave of doctors exploring non-clinical paths, the guilt and shame that often hold them back, and how reframing career “setbacks” as opportunities can unlock new clarity. Whether you’re burnt out, curious about startups, or simply want to rediscover purpose in your work, this conversation will open doors you didn’t know existed.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your medical degree can take you beyond the ward, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.
