I absolutely love it when a guest introduces me to another guest, this path has been peppered with some serendipitous encounters. 4 stand out in this season and this is one of them. There are a number of clinicians who have considered learning, training and practising in America and so I jumped on the opportunity to hear about Dr. Stella Ogake’s medical education safari spanning from Eldoret, Kenya to landing in the USA. This Professor and Associate Program Director of the Pulmonary and Critical care fellowship at Ohio State University shares her journey that is a blend of resilience, motivation and a passion for her unique combined specialty. You really do not want to miss out on this chat especially if you are considering studying and working abroad.
