Working as a consultant in the health tech industry can be highly rewarding, but it requires a significant mindset shift from the traditional role of a doctor. To succeed in working for yourself, embracing a productive and autonomous mindset is essential.

As a consultant, you have the freedom to work independently and create your own path. This autonomy allows you to determine your worth and negotiate your desired compensation. The sense of control and the ability to start projects from scratch is empowering aspects of being a consultant.

In this episode of Disrupting Doctors Career podcast, Dr Alice McGee, a health tech consultant with a wealth of knowledge in the space, shares valuable insights on how doctors can venture into health tech consulting and how to get started.

By expanding your knowledge and skills beyond the conventional medical field, you open yourself up to a broader range of opportunities and challenges that facilitate personal growth.

If you aspire to enter the health tech industry or embark on a consulting career within this field, this episode will provide you with valuable guidance. Discover how to overcome the barrier of skillsets and reposition yourself as a doctor so that you can access the best opportunities, often not widely advertised. Listen and learn how to carve your path in health tech consulting.
