A therapy dog proposal hits a wall. An intake form tweak lights a spark. A Texas ice storm can’t stop a clinician from finding a new path. Our first TCT return is a candid look at how three therapists (PT, PT, and SLP) translated clinical instincts into roles across product, client success, sales, and education at a health tech startup, without abandoning the heart of care.

We unpack the real forces behind a pivot: when a “dream” outpatient job still leaves you curious, when a hospital rewards throughput over innovation, and when a buyout shifts a clinic from people to profit. You’ll hear how EMR optimization became a gateway to product thinking, how patient education skills turn “boring” software training into something teams love, and how community is the bridge from clinic to tech. Expect practical tactics: how to vet roles that look shiny but misfit, how to write outreach messages that open doors, and how to use small experiments to discover what you’re great at beyond the bedside.

This is not a burnout confessional and not a sales pitch. It’s a roadmap for clinicians who want broader impact: reduce cognitive load for providers, streamline workflows, and let patient care breathe. We share the mantra that brought us back: progress over perfection. If you can get 95% of the result with 50% of the effort, you buy time for what matters - learning, shipping, and serving. Curious about clinician transition, healthcare technology, EMR optimization, product strategy, and career design? You’re in the right place.

If the stories resonate, follow along, share with a colleague who’s curious about life beyond the clinic, and leave a review so more clinicians can find their path. Your next step might be a single message…what’s stopping you?
