Would you go to medical school to become a better writer? Randi Hutter Epstein did.
Unconventional best defines the career journey of the multi-talented Medical Journalist, Author, College Professor, and MD, Randi Hutter Epstein. Coming out of college, Randi knew two things: she wanted to write and was fascinated by the medical field. What to do? Her father, a physician, challenged her to embrace both, which led to Randi enrolling at Yale Medical School—with the full knowledge that she would (most likely) never practice medicine. The journey that followed is fascinating, inspiring, and still evolving.
In this episode, we will:
• Experience the Growth Mindset in action.
• Discover how to succeed as a reporter living overseas.
• Get a look at how a medical journalist discovers and pursues a story idea.
• Explore the life of a modern-day college professor.
Randi’s experience goes to show that there's no single way to success. Whether she's nurturing the next generation of writers at Columbia and Yale, authoring books that captivate readers, or shaping stories for top publications, her path highlights the beauty of following your own compass.
Randi’s story is a testament to building a career on your terms, embracing learning at every turn, and pushing against the expected.
