This one hurt a little.

💼 Job Hunting Chronicles

After a year-long break from job applications, I finally put myself out there again.
It wasn’t just any job — it was one I really wanted. A femtech role I may not have been fully qualified for.

I asked myself:

• Am I biting off more than I can chew?

• Am I juggling too much already?

• Did I dress up, look in the mirror, and scream the job title like a maniac?

Yes. Yes, I did.

I kept speaking it into existence. Manifestation, right?

👉 I waited 11 days.
👉 Then came the “love letter.”
👉 The result? Someone more experienced got the role.

And honestly, I just sighed in relief… then went on TikTok.

No moral lesson here — just this:
Reach for the higher fruit. If your stick breaks, get another one and try again.

🧠 Career Pivot Notes

I'm a tired medic. Clinical medicine isn’t hitting the way it used to.
Lately, I’ve been eyeing non-clinical roles that feel more aligned with who I’m becoming.

This week, I started a Coursera course on AI in Healthcare.
With the launch of OpenAI’s HealthBencher, AI is more than a buzzword — it's our coworker now.

OpenAI just launched HealthBench — a new gold-standard benchmark designed to evaluate how well AI performs in real-world healthcare settings.

💡 For medics exploring non-clinical paths like healthtech, clinical AI, or medical product roles, this is huge.

🔍 What is HealthBench?
It’s an open-source benchmark built with input from 260+ physicians across 60 countries. It includes:

• 5,000 realistic, multilingual medical conversations

• Evaluation rubrics created by doctors (48,000+ data points!)

• Scenarios across emergencies, chronic care, and patient communication

• Real-world tests beyond just medical trivia

📈 Why This Matters (Especially If You're Pivoting):

• ✅ HealthBench sets a new standard for assessing AI safety, accuracy, and bedside manner.

• 🛠️ If you're moving into medical writing, clinical AI, product strategy, or medical advising, understanding how tools are evaluated gives you a major edge.
