Arun V. J: Why Healthcare Professionals Need More Than Medical Training
Arun V. J., The Leader of Transfusion Medicine at Malabar Medical College, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Three days in, 175 healthcare professionals have already joined. I realized something uncomfortable after talking to hundreds of doctors.
Young doctors and healthcare professionals are burning out before they’ve even figured out who they are.
Not from the medicine. From everything medicine never prepared them for – the politics, the invisibility, the quiet fight just to stay whole while the job asks for everything.
That’s why ‘The Doctor Who Builds’ newsletter exists.
The Doctor Who Builds isn’t a newsletter you read. It’s a community you build with. 1 Newsletter every fortnight with action directly to you, no middle man, no algorithm between us.
We build ourselves first.
Then we build each other – the junior who’s brilliant at the craft and invisible in every meeting, the resident who’s drowning and thinks it’s just them.
Then something bigger: a community of healthcare professionals who take action instead of just coping.
Eventually, a better healthcare world – one that doesn’t care which religion, border, or race you were born into. Only whether you’re willing to build.
175 of us, three days in.
I know what building through failure looks like. Six blogs died before this one.
Transfusion Arena Mentorship (TRAM) Leadershsip Program – the leadership program I co-founded – didn’t die.
It now runs in more than ten countries, because eventually you learn what actually holds.
The momentum here is real. Not because I built it alone. Because you’re building it with me.
Subscribe and you’ll get the first thing we build together – free: 10 AI prompts that tell you the truth about your career instead of complimenting it. Fair warning: prompt 3 is hard to swallow.
If you’re tired of surviving your career and ready to build it instead, there’s no barrier between you and this community.”
