Podcast Description

While a physiotherapist by training, Dr Danelle Hess now identifies as an educator as she finds herself in an academic role. She briefly shares her unplanned journey into Health Professions Education and provides great advice for those new to the field or considering a move into it. These include finding what you enjoy, but also being strategic in aligning it to your everyday work, along with the importance of mentorship, joining networks, building community, and paying it forward. You can connect with Danelle on LinkedIn at Danelle Hess and on Twitter/X @danelle_83.
