About this Event
Program
A medical degree opens far more doors than clinical practice alone. This special Trojan Connects panel highlights Keck School of Medicine alumni who have leveraged their training in unexpected ways — building companies, shaping health policy, leading nonprofit initiatives, advancing biotech and innovation, engaging in medical communications, contributing to public health, consulting, and more.
Designed for early-career MDs and current trainees, the session explores how physicians are redefining impact beyond the bedside. Participants will hear real stories of career pivots, gain insight into the skillsets that support them, and learn how to recognize opportunities that align with their passions and expertise. Connect with peers, learn from alumni experiences, and discover just how far a medical degree can take you.
