In this episode of *Postcall: Beyond the White Coat*, Dr. Selina Chew sits down with Dr. Shaun to discuss his decision to leave anaesthesia and transition into the pharmaceutical industry.
After facing intense pressure during anaesthesia training in Australia and experiencing personal tragedy, Dr. Shaun found himself at a crossroads.
He opens up about the mental toll of medical training, the challenges of leaving clinical medicine, and the stigma he faced for choosing a non-clinical career path.
Now thriving in pharma, Dr. Shaun shares valuable insights for doctors contemplating similar transitions and sheds light on how his new role is still impacting healthcare.
Listeners will gain an understanding of the intense demands of anaesthesia training, the emotional struggles of pivoting away from a clinical career, and the opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry for doctors looking for new pathways.
If you’re a healthcare professional considering a career shift or simply curious about the intersection of medicine and pharma, this episode is for you.
