In this episode, Kemi welcomes Dr. Adesuwa Akhetuamhen, an emergency medicine physician and faculty member at Emory University. Dr. Akhetuamhen’s research focuses on preventative medicine for emergency department patients at risk for neuro-cardiovascular disease. She has substantial experience in clinical medicine, with specialized training and expertise in addressing racial health disparities, conducting medical education research, and neuro-cardiovascular disease prevention in emergency care settings. 

Tune in as they discuss Adesuwa's experience with the Get That Grant® program, she reflects on the importance of community, mentorship, and the actionable strategies that have propelled her career forward. Adesuwa's candid insights reveal how she navigated the challenges of motherhood while achieving significant milestones, including securing her first grant shortly after completing the program. 

Conversation Highlights: 

  • The importance of community in academia 
  • Navigating motherhood and career milestones 
  • Overcoming challenges and celebrating wins 
  • The power of passion in research 

If Adesuwa’s story resonated with you - and you’re looking for structured support, community, and strategy in your own academic journey - now’s the time to take the next step.
