From Clinician to Changemaker Empowering Communities and Redefining Impact - with Weh Yeoh
Adopting an entrepreneurial mindset can help health professionals identify needs and fill gaps in a way that serves the community, creates a successful and sustainable practice and, on a personal level, thrive in their career.
One person who has done this in a very powerful and impactful way is Weh Yoeh. Weh is a professionally trained physiotherapist who has completed a MA in Development Studies. He has lived, volunteered and worked in Asia for 8 years. He is the founder of OIC Cambodia, an initiative that aims to establish speech therapy as a profession in Cambodia and co-founder of Umbo, a social enterprise bridging the gap for rural children to access allied health services.
In this episode, Jo and Weh discuss the power of entrepreneurial thinking, how to create sustainable growth and how to challenge the status quo.
