Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors -----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.-----TIME STAMPS:00:00 – Intro01:31 – Meet Dr. Amandeep Hansra04:30 – Redefining What It Means to Be a Doctor08:23 – The System Is Worse & Doctors Are Suffering14:48 – “Wasting” Your Medical Degree?18:50 – The Weight of Being a Decision Maker21:21 – Doing Work You Actually Love29:12 – Bottlenecks in Medicine31:04 – Investing in Yourself33:22 – Doctor Anxiety & Performance Pressure38:06 – Conclusion/Outro-----SHOW NOTES LINKShttps://ifdgroup.com.au/ https://doctorbi.com.au/ https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-amandeep-h-b2092623/https://medangels.com.au/----- LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast ----- FIND US HERE Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors ----- DISCLAIMER The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.
