Medical Mums of Australia and New Zealand chat to some awesome medical women and chat about all sorts of things
In our final episode in the Burnout series we meet Dr Kim Kilov, joining us all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark.
She chats with Bek Ledingham about her decision to leave medicine as an advanced trainee in paediatrics and what life is like now.
Kim says..
After 6 years in clinical medicine I became increasingly burnout. After pushing through for over a year, I hit a wall and realised I needed to make change for my health and wellbeing. It took over a year to recover but during this time I moved to Stockholm in 2019 to complete a Masters in Global Health. This opened a whole new world of opportunities within the health care field. I landed up in Copenhagen, Denmark where I am now based. I currently work as a Clinical Project Manager for a health tech company which focus on clinical trials and patient-centred care. It has been a challenging journey over the past few years, with a lot of emotional highs and lows, but I can now say I am completely content with my decision to take a different path. I have found a new career that is both fulfilling and balanced and I haven’t looked back!
