Yeah so our fellowship kind of dives into ways that medics can increase their impact, and EA cause areas where they might be particularly suited/have some comparative advantage. Some specific and non-exhaustive examples
For those interested in global health and development, medics might have a comparative advantage in working in the space due to clinical knowledge of area, respect and career capital
For those interested in health security/ biosecurity, there seems like there is an increasing role for medics who might act as a conduit between researchers and policymakers, as well as doctors and other public health professionals who are implementers on the ground.
Within clinical medicine, there might be robust ways to improve the amount of good people do e.g. through where they choose to work—i.e. LIC vs HIC, earning to give.
There are lots of skills that medics have (triage and prioritisation, systematic approach to problems, generally strong people skills) that make them a good fit for things like operations roles or careers advising e.g. at 80K ;)
If you are interested, happy to send you across our course curriculum!
