Episode 75: Finding the courage to steer off the traditional career path with Dr. Edidiong Nsidibe Ikpe-Ekpo

Moving away from a traditional career path can feel extremely daunting as a physician.  That’s why episode 75 of the Melanin & Medicine Podcast is about having the courage to steer off the traditional career path! 

Access the FREE Pivot into your Purpose Workshop. During the 5-day workshop, we are going to go over the steps you need to finally get the clarity you need to carve out your vision and use this to develop the PIVOT you need to make the life you envision a reality. 

In this episode of the Melanin & Medicine Podcast, I’m chatting with Dr. Edidiong Nsidibe Ikpe-Ekpo. She is a practicing emergency and internal medicine physician who works as a medical doctor and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Emory University and the Atlanta Veterans Hospital. Aside from providing quality care to legions of patients, Edidiong is a teacher of medicine, shaping the next generation of doctors by instructing them on a daily basis.

What You’ll Learn From This Episode:

  • How our voices have been silenced because of the media and societal “boxes” that have been placed over us.

  • Intersectionality is such a unique, yet shared, space where it’s easy to not feel truly connected.

  • How moving off the traditional career path can feel detrimental to your status as a physician and ways that you can redefine what your identity truly is

  • When something is worth it, you have to find time to prioritize it.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on empowering Black women in medicine and academia to find their purpose and achieve their vision.
