Beyond Clinical
Welcome to the Business Skills for Health Professionals podcast, Beyond Clinical. We're here to inspire health professionals to consider careers outside of the clinical realm. We interview health professionals who've transitioned to unique roles to hear their stories and learn from them. We want to see more health professionals in leadership positions (can you say CEO!) of healthcare companies. We feel that by having health professionals in key roles, companies will produce better products and services that will have a positive impact on the health of everyone.
