Episode’s Description

In this episode of Postcall: Beyond the White Coat, Dr. Selina Chew talks with Dr. Aneil Moorthy, Head of Healthcare Services at IA International Assistance, about his personal journey through the Anaesthesia Masters Programme. 

After dedicating years to his studies and career, Dr. Aneil faced a major setback when he failed his final exam after three attempts. This forced him to reevaluate his future and question what to do next. 

In this raw conversation, Dr. Aneil opens up about the emotional toll of navigating failure, the challenges of transitioning out of clinical practice, and the journey to finding a new path in healthcare services.

He also shares his evolving views on healthcare, emphasizing the need for a broader perspective that goes beyond just hospital care. 

Dr. Aneil highlights the importance of understanding patient experiences and the wider healthcare system, particularly as he now heads a team focused on reviewing complex medical cases. 

This episode offers a powerful reflection on resilience, change, and finding new purpose in unexpected places, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating career challenges or considering alternative paths in healthcare.
