As I look back on my career, I'm filled with a deep sense of pride and gratitude for the experiences that have shaped my professional journey. For over a decade, I served as a primary care physician in Trinidad, dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centred care. My work was fulfilling, but like many International Medical Graduates (IMGs), I faced significant challenges when I moved to Canada 2.5 years ago. The reality is, finding your place as an IMG in Canada is incredibly difficult—whether it’s pursuing a medical license or charting a new career path. For me, the decision to explore an alternative path was not easy, but it was driven by a desire to continue making a meaningful impact on patient care, now from a non-clinical role. That’s when I discovered the Postgraduate Advanced Diploma in Digital Health & Data Analytics (DHDA) at the Michener Institute. The program was brand new, and I signed up for the second cohort, drawn by the opportunity to be at the forefront of healthcare innovation. Over the past two years, I’ve immersed myself in learning how digital health can transform patient outcomes and streamline healthcare delivery. The journey has been long and challenging, but it has also been incredibly rewarding. Today, I’m thrilled to share that I have successfully completed this education milestone. I’ve acquired new skills, broadened my perspectives, and positioned myself to contribute to the healthcare industry in a non-clinical, yet deeply impactful way. Innovation is now at the heart of my career, and I’m excited to see where this new path will take me. To all my fellow IMGs facing similar challenges—know that there are many ways to make a difference in healthcare. While the road may be difficult, the possibilities are endless. Here’s to new beginnings and the exciting journey ahead! 🚀 #CareerJourney #DigitalHealth #IMG #HealthcareInnovation #MichenerInstitute #DHDA #PatientCare #NewBeginnings
