Beyond the White Coat: Building a Startup Career from Private Practice with Dr. Payal Adhikari

In this episode of Startup Physicians, I sit down with Dr. Payal Adhikari, a pediatrician who made the leap from private practice into the startup world. We talk about what it takes to step into non-clinical roles and how networking, self-belief, and clinical expertise all play a part. Dr. Payal Adhikari shares her personal journey, the skills she had to build, and how she found real opportunities in biotech and consulting. This conversation is all about action and showing physicians that they already have what startups need while also encouraging them to take the next step toward building something new. Episode Highlights:[00:00] - From Medicine to Startups: A Journey Begins[09:28] - Navigating the Biotech Landscape[18:42] - Building a Consulting Business[28:22] - Empowering Physicians in Startups
