Join us in this episode as we explore the story of a medical student who redefined her career path after a pivotal moment of self-discovery and patient insight. Our guest, Janet A. Jokela, an infectious disease physician, delves into the lessons learned about career alignment, mentorship, and the vital role of compassion in medicine. Together, we discuss the power of patient interactions, the courage to pivot, and the importance of finding one’s true calling in a demanding field.

Janet A. Jokela, MD, MPH, ACP's Treasurer 2022-2025, served as the Regional Dean of the University of Illinois College of Medicine-Urbana, and currently serves as Professor and Senior Associate Dean of Engagement at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine, Urbana, IL.

She discusses the KevinMD article, "How one medical student's life-changing conversation reshaped her career."
