BBB Podcast Episode 48: How Women Pivot & They Find Their True Passion with Dr. Ekaette Joseph-Isang

In this episode with Dr. Ekaette Joseph-Isang, we discuss her shift from clinical medicine to healthcare consulting and entrepreneurship. She shares how her passion for helping physicians and improving healthcare processes led to the creation of RiteBridge LLC. Dr. Eka also talks about the challenges and successes of transitioning to the business side of healthcare, and how strategic learning and work-life balance shaped her journey. This conversation highlights how career transitions can be an opportunity for growth and aligning with your true purpose.

Key Takeaways:

Improving Patient Care Through Smarter Workflows -Patients often feel rushed and disconnected from their doctors, leading to complaints about the quality of care due to systemic inefficiencies. Therefore, delegating responsibilities to other team members can help ease the burden on physicians while maintaining efficiency.

A Career of Learning and Growth in Healthcare – Everyone’s career path looks different. Some start unsure of their path, while others face challenges even with a clear goal. Moving into a leadership position takes learning, hard work, and sometimes a leap of faith, but it’s all worth it when you find your place.

Overcoming Career Barriers in a New Country – Immigrant professionals show great resilience when they have to rebuild their careers in a new country. While it’s tough to start over, training programs can help them transition into new roles and use their skills in different ways. Their ability to adapt is truly inspiring.

Helpful Resource:

Embracing Career Transitions – Career transitions aren’t just about jumping to the next job—they’re about strategically educating yourself and structuring your career around the life you want to live. Instead of shaping your life around your job, shape your job around your life.

The Power of Adaptability – In the 21st century, being able to learn, unlearn, and relearn is more important than just knowing how to read and write. The world is constantly changing, and being flexible and open to new ideas is essential.
