After posting about the lack of remote non-clinical roles for doctors outside the UK and US, the response was wild.
📥 My inbox blew up.
✅ Companies noticed.
💬 Doctors resonated.

And yes — we got replies.

It's proof that visibility works, and there is space for medics in global, non-clinical roles — even if the map still favors the usual suspects. 🌍

🔗 New Resources for Medics & Pharmacists

Looking to break into healthtech? These platforms are opening doors:

  • PharmDs in IT — A hub for pharmacists in tech

  • Doctors Explain — A Kenyan-owned healthtech company recruiting doctors for online consultations

And guess what?
🧴 A skin startup and a longevity startup just hit my radar — both exploring non-clinical hires. Stay tuned for more info 👀

If you're interested in diagnostics, here’s a major opportunity:

The Gates Foundation Diagnostics Team is requesting info on innovative diagnostic devices that could scale in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

They're seeking devices at any development stage — this could be your inroad if you're pivoting toward product or research strategy.
