Whereas traditional medical careers have involved staying in the same place until retirement, more and more doctors are embracing careers based on variety and mobility. In this episode, Daniel tells me about his own portfolio career that involves clinical work in different settings, as well as non-clinical work. He outlines that this gives him flexibility, variety, and learning opportunities, and each clinical career contributes to him being a better doctor in the other careers. The different careers meet different things that he desires in his work. He also outlines a mindset interested in growth and development, and the importance of taking up opportunities as they arise. Finally, we also discuss money. This may be a dirty topic for medics, but in our discussions we discover that actually financial (as well as physical and psychological) health is important if we are to give the best we can to our patients.

Outside of medicine, he runs a podcast promoting the concept of financial health, as too often doctors are not taught personal finances and often don’t know where to start when it comes to investing.
