의학의 이면| The One with Dr. Ibukun Sonaike - The Other Side of Medical Practice: Episode 8 (2021)

The medical profession is undoubtedly one of the most influential and admired professions globally, but what's on the other side of it? My guest, Dr. Ibukun, did justice to this question.

Dr. Ibukun is from Lagos, Nigeria, where he received his medical degree. He worked as a primary care physician before studying public health and epidemiology at the graduate level. He currently resides in Washington, where he is training in pediatric critical care and hopes to improve healthcare in resource-limited settings, especially for very sick children.

In this episode, we talked about the expectations versus the reality of the medical practice, comparing the US health system with that of Nigeria and highlighting areas of improvement and matching into residency programs. We also discussed at length the fine line between humanity and professionalism, striking the work-life balance in a rigorous profession, and what it means to be married to a doctor.

Dr. Ibukun shared some vital career advancement tips relevant to all professions, and Dr. TDawg also made a cameo. Don't miss this episode!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Olayinka Jolaosho - On Career, Grief, and Addiction

Meet Olayinka Jolaosho (yeah two episodes in a row with Yinkas – guess they truly yímiká, haha) - my WhatsApp muse and the bane of my meme existence. She's also a strong anti-fan even though she believes she's my #4 fan. It's my utmost pleasure to share this extraordinary treasure to my listeners. It's one of the many ways I keep making her famous (things I do for you, boo!)

Indeed, there are conventional ways of doing things, but you find people like Yinka who deviate from traditions now and then. Yinka is a pharmacist with 12 years of progressive practical experience working in the development and health sector in several areas, including pharmaceutical research, supply chain management, program management, sales and marketing, and much more.

As a pharmacist in Nigeria, the career options are limited to specific areas, but Yinka has successfully carved out a niche for herself in the healthcare industry.

In this episode, she shares with us details of her 12-year career journey, attitude to work, and finding her unique passion in pharmacy. She also shared the pain of losing her sister to sickle cell anemia and her dad shortly after, as well as her strange but acceptable addiction.

Listen to this episode to find out how Yinka evolved from making purple candles as a child to becoming a "purple cow" in her field of expertise.
