What Actually Gets Doctors Hired in Industry

The hardest truths for doctors to hear

One of the hardest truths for doctors to hear? Time in medicine doesn’t equal value in industry.

That can feel frustrating especially if you’ve spent 10, 15, even 20+ years in the system. In clinical settings, we’re taught that credibility comes from:

  • Qualifications

  • Titles

  • Seniority

But in industry? Value is measured differently.

🎯 It’s about clarity.

 🎯 It’s about outcomes.

🎯 It’s about how well you communicate the problems you solve.

I’ve seen junior doctors land high-level roles in healthtech and consulting because they could clearly articulate their impact.

And I’ve seen consultants get overlooked because they were still leading with “I’m a Consultant XYZ” instead of showing the strategic value they bring.

But what actually gets you hired in industry?

🛑 It’s NOT another qualification.

✅ It’s how you position yourself.

✅ It’s how you communicate your strengths.

✅ It’s how clearly you connect your skills to the outcomes employers care about.

If this hit, I’m going deeper into all of it next week. I’m hosting a free LinkedIn Live on 22nd July!

Would love to see you there!

Warmly,
Abeyna
