What's one simple thing I wish I would have done sooner in my non-academic, non-clinical career? 🦋 Explore internship opportunities! During my PhD, I wasn't certain about my career path: - Pursuing academic positions and becoming a university professor? - Transitioning to clinical roles and obtaining my internationally-educated occupational therapist registration (a process that took two years and was quite challenging). - Exploring non-academic, non-clinical career paths. I lacked awareness of the available non-academic, non-clinical opportunities for someone with a PhD in rehab science and how to gather information about them. It took me three years post-PhD to realize my career goals. What I regret the most is not seizing the opportunity to pursue internships available to graduate students. Internships would have provided: 1) Exposure to various career paths. 2) Networking opportunities to enhance my job prospects. 🦋 So, to all my friends pursuing a Master's or PhD in a rehab field, I strongly urge you to consider internships. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later. 📫 Repost to help other rehab professionals. #rehabilitation #phdjourney #nonclinical #nonacademic

‼️long post ‼️for preinterns interns and medical officers I did my 🥼internship in 2017/2018 around the time there was a nation wide doctors strike 🪧 i got into a busy underserviced public hospital near my hometown to save cost ( honestly i just wanted to enjoy my money without responsibilities) The best thing I did though was to align my goals with my actions for that period( insert a deep quote about adversity) 1.changed internship centres to a CHAK institution ( i needed to complete my internship on time ) 2. Applied for residency while still in internship . Yes its possible My advice to you 🙂 ⭐️Get a mentor Just as every tree needs a sturdy stake to grow straight and tall, every person needs a mentor who can provide them with guidance, support, and encouragement. A good mentor inspires you, pushes you, opens doors, expands your horizons, and equips you with the tools and confidence to reach your potential. ⭐️Be clear on your goal this is also the ‘what’ you want and the ‘why’ you want it then the ‘how’ will follow ⭐️Join KMA sacco - this is not even an ad 😹learn how to manage your finances well early in your carrier ⭐️Expand your friends circle to include people outside medicine!!! Listen to them keenly when they speak about trade , businesses , stock market and enterprenureship .Fight out the god complex because no boo boo you dont know everything .you dont even know half the things you think you know ! ⭐️Feedback - you will get bad and rarely great geedback from your teachers ( sorry this is just how the medical hierachy is wiered) learn to externalise what is not about you and improve that which you need to learn. ⭐️The journey is long , and involves alot of sacrifices do not give up . The possibilities are endless with the degree you hold. Do not limit yourself to the traditional path. 📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝Simply put everything is changing and when things change , you can not afford to remain static! #inspiration#medlife#medicine#residency#doctorsoflinkedin
