Talent & Career Development for Aspiring Physicians

​

“A great mentor can provide a nurturing environment for personal and professional growth of an individual. Connecting emerging leaders with experienced professionals is an art and the results can be magical."

-Uzma Iqbal

 

Successfully navigating the journey to become a doctor is not only about grind and grit to gain a competitive advantage over other students. It is also about growing professionally and personally while fulfilling your aspirations by developing a meaningful, systematic, and sustainable plan of action.

 

Imagine if you had:

  • Clarity of purpose

  • Mastery of knowledge

  • Sustainable motivation

  • Purpose-driven passion

  • Self-awareness & self-compassion

  • Coping skills to manage anxiety and doubt

  • Meaningful and smart systems to gain a competitive advantage

  • An impact in creating a socially engaged, equitable, and just society

​

All while improving your personal and professional life.

​

That’s what’s achievable when you follow your purpose with passion while creating a smart, systematized roadmap rooted in your authentic mission.

​

College is one of the biggest personal growth journeys you can undertake.

​

Have you ever found yourself asking:

  • Is this the right path for me?

  • What is the journey to become a doctor?

  • How do I optimize my experiences to gain a competitive advantage over other students?

  • How do I navigate the application process?

  • How can I demystify standardized testing?

  • How do I sustain wellness while maximizing high performance?

  • How can I find my purpose and passion in medicine?

  • What coping skills can I develop to manage anxiety and doubt?

​

If your answer is yes to any of the above, you are not alone!

​

Research shows almost 80% of students have asked themselves these questions. In addition, 50% of students reported signs of burnout.

​

Leveraging over two decades of experience as a physician and mentor, I have developed the HOPE Healthcare Leadership Course, to guide and motivate students to reach their highest potential while following their purpose with passion.

​

This course is a fit for you if you are a student aspiring to become a doctor.

​

This course covers:

  • Identifying Purpose and Passion

  • Power of the Platform: Medicine as an intersection between Healthcare and Environment, Society, and Governance (ESG)

  • Healing the Healer: Importance of understanding Self-compassion and Self-mastery

  • Understanding Patient-Doctor relationship dynamics

  • Cultivating Empathy

  • Physician as an Innovator, Servant Leader, and Social Impact Activist

  • Owning and Celebrating personal Narrative and Story

  • Sustaining Joy and Ease while Pursuing the Authentic Mission

  • Navigating the Application Process & Standardized Testing

​

Several students have already benefited from the program.

Testimonial-

​

"The [HOPE Healthcare Leadership Internship Program] is an incredible opportunity to learn about the journey to medicine, the medical profession itself, as well as personal reflection. The course covers various topics from medical school applications to physician-patient relationships to healthcare systems. It was very engaging and insightful as we got to interact with leaders in the various fields on healthcare. Dr. Iqbal is an incredible mentor who takes a personal interest in each person’s life. She is compassionate, informative, and accomplished. I learned that, depending on your passions, being a physician can also entail being an advocate, a leader, or an innovator. These are lessons I will remember and take with me through life."
