의학의 이면| The One with Dr. Ibukun Sonaike - The Other Side of Medical Practice: Episode 8 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:

 

The medical profession is undoubtedly one of the most influential and admired professions globally, but what's on the other side of it? My guest, Dr. Ibukun, did justice to this question.

Dr. Ibukun is from Lagos, Nigeria, where he received his medical degree. He worked as a primary care physician before studying public health and epidemiology at the graduate level. He currently resides in Washington, where he is training in pediatric critical care and hopes to contribute to improving healthcare in resource-limited settings, especially for very sick children.

In this episode, we talked about the expectations versus the reality of the medical practice, comparing the US health system with that of Nigeria and highlighting areas of improvement, and matching into residency programs. We also discussed at length the fine line between humanity and professionalism, striking the work-life balance in a rigorous profession, and what it means to be married to a doctor.

Dr. Ibukun shared some vital career advancement tips relevant to all professions, and Dr. TDawg also made a cameo. Don't miss this episode!
