I absolutely love it when a guest introduces me to another guest, this path has been peppered with some serendipitous encounters. 4 stand out in this season and this is one of them. There are a number of clinicians who have considered learning, training and practising in America and so I jumped on the opportunity to hear about Dr. Stella Ogake’s medical education safari spanning from Eldoret, Kenya to landing in the USA. This Professor and Associate Program Director of the Pulmonary and Critical care fellowship at Ohio State University shares her journey that is a blend of resilience, motivation and a passion for her unique combined specialty. You really do not want to miss out on this chat especially if you are considering studying and working abroad.

Today’s safari takes us down a path that a lot of paediatricians have contemplated as a specialty. A significant number of paediatricians naturally gravitate towards neonatology as a specialty, and many have argued that it is the foundation of paediatrics. I had the fortunate opportunity of sitting with Dr. Phanice Okara who chose the road less travelled in the world of neonatology. Her mastery of words as she brings her stories to life was truly a treat as she shares her safari of neonatology training across two continents, navigating different health care systems, social bonds and where she is now. Should you decide to get in touch directly, she can be reached on [email protected].

I am very excited to have interviewed Dr. David Githanga, a mentor in the area of paediatrics, cardiology and environmental health. His name has been synonymous with environmental health, and it was quite the treat to sit and hear how his formative years led up to this point in his life. His safari towards self-actualisation in his private and professional roles is definitely worth listening to.

This safari is near and dear to my heart. Dr. Dan Odhiambo was one of those guys who I quickly identified as an outlier in our undergraduate class for so many great reasons. What started out as a messenger catch up chat quickly accelerated into my requesting him to share his amazing medical education safari with us and here we are! Come join us as we take a peek into the life of neurosurgeon on his path to pursuing a collection of fellowships. Dan’s experiences are an eye opener into this intricate subspecialty, and he manages to do this while contextualising the human experience in medical education.

On this last episode of season 2, I share the podcast mic with my mother Njoki Karianjahi and my sister Josephine Karianjahi. Mum and Jo take us through what I call the ripple effect of fellowship training on family and some of the tools that helped them…and me!
Episode Highlights:
Njoki Karianjahi aka Mum is an entrepreneur and manufacturer, check out her website! https://www.karian.co.ke/
Josephine Karianjahi aka Jo is an entrepreneur and the co-founder and co-director of Africa Podfest: https://www.podcasting.africa/
Dr. Kahiti Wira - The Working Hyena - a name that Mum fondly coined for me during my fellowship 🙂(it was busy y’all!)
Hyenas are also so misunderstood. Check out some of their characteristics:
Hyenas are actually proficient hunters (they are not scavengers!). Females are the mainly the ones that lead clans (all hail the Matriachy!). They are one of the best mothers in the animal kingdom. They are amazingly intelligent (even more than chimpanzees in group problem solving). They can count (what?). They live for long (well more than lions and tigers). They are vocal (up to 28 vocalisations). https://wildtomorrow.org/blog/2020/5/7/10-amazing-facts-about-hyenas
