98: Physician Leadership Tools for 2021 and Beyond with Dr. Kemi Olugemo

“Networks are so important in every industry. I mean networks are hugely critical because they essentially start with relationships which I believe are the building blocks of the foundation to what you need to be impactful in society.”- Kemi Olugemo, MD, FAAN 

 

In today’s episode, Coach Gabriella Dennery MD talks with Dr. Kemi Olugemo, a Neuroscience Physician Researcher and Healthcare Advocate, about her path in medicine and her take on leadership in 2021. We hear about two of the organizations she is very involved in, the important missions of those organizations, and the work they are doing. She speaks about situational adaptability, courage, networking and managing conflict. Dr. Olugemo also highlights the importance of mentors and sponsors on career advancements and the role it has played in her life. Tune in to hear more with Dr. Kemi Olugemo.

 

After earning her undergraduate degree in Clinical Laboratory Science from the University of Massachusetts (Magna cum Laude), Kemi completed her MD at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and remained in Baltimore for her Neurology Residency before undertaking an additional Fellowship in Neuroimmunology & Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the Maryland Center for MS, also in Baltimore. As a staff Neurologist and partner in the Charles County Neurology Practice, Kemi introduced a number of novel infusion therapies for the practice’s patients which in turn brought her in contact with clinical research organizations, ultimately causing her to join the industry. 

 

Kemi draws on a diverse set of experiences including being the current Director of Communications at Women of Color in Pharma (WOCIP), Board Member at Watermark (an organization with a mission to empower women to make their mark in their companies, careers and communities) and serving on the Scientific Committee of the International Society for CNS Clinical Trials and Methodology (ISCTM).  

She is currently Executive Director, Clinical Development at Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Doctors devote their lives to caring for others. But does that mean they must sacrifice their own health and wellbeing? Absolutely not!

 

At DocWorking, we have developed a unique way to embrace it all.

 

The caring for others that you do so selflessly AND the caring for YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY that you crave in order to bring it all into the perfect balance specific to YOU.

 

What if we told you that you CAN have it all? The career you dreamed of when you decided to become a doctor AND the life outside of medicine that you desire?

 

DocWorking empowers physicians to get back on the path to achieving their dreams.

Take Back Your Time: Get a Virtual Assistant

Working in the medical field is fulfilling but it can also be exhausting. Physicians often sacrifice their personal time to carry out their duties. They want to go on vacations, start passion projects, or start side businesses but finding the time seems impossible. Recently, more and more physicians are giving outsourcing a try. Outsourcing allows you to delegate tasks to virtual assistants so you can free up your time and finally do whatever it is you’ve been wanting to do.
