NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
MEDI-THRIVE – How to navigate medical school, residency and ‘adulting’ without tears and still glide through like a boss!
Medicine has been said to be one of the toughest courses and doctors often become consumed by the rigors of the course cheating them of the wholesome life they are entitled to. From medical school to residency, it is almost like an unending life of stress. Residency is not much different from medical school; it is just an older sibling. What if I told you there is a method to the ‘madness’ of medicine and ‘adulting’ in general? What if I told you that in this book are ten simple but guaranteed hacks to help you navigate the medical journey while still living life to the fullest and exploring your potential in the maximum way possible? What if I told you that this book addresses all the unanswered burning questions that you may have about how to have a healthy work-life balance as a doctor and a young adult?
What makes MEDI-THRIVE special? There is presently no book ever written that brings collaborative mentoring to you the way MEDI-THRIVE does! With eight contributors in different fields of medicine who are thriving in their respective fields contributing bonus chapters in the book without holding anything back, MEDI-THRIVE is a book that will be filled with highlights from your markers once you have your copy. Experience they say, is the best teacher……but who says it must be your OWN experience before you can learn from it? MEDI-THRIVE is not just a book about medicine, it is filled with life lessons and career advice for any adolescent or young adult in search of a smarter way to ‘adulting’.
My name is Shakirat Gold-Olufadi and I am a consultant physician, dermatologist, teacher, public speaker, writer who has walked the path of medical school and residency successfully in record time. I wrote this book because of how much I get questioned by younger colleagues how they can navigate the maze of medicine without getting deprived of a well-rounded life. I often get asked the same question repeatedly, “Can I have it all?” And my answer to them? – If your definition of ‘all’ is living a life of positive impact while ensuring happiness in your career and personal life, then welcome to the world of having it all!
There is NO book presently that addresses mentoring holistically like MEDI-THRIVE has done. From chapters on how to balance your reading, to versatility, to emotional intelligence, to social capital and even relationships! MEDI-THRIVE has it all and THIS IS JUST A SMALL PART of the power packed book. Each chapter of the book is richly explained by a preceding illustration that leaves the content of the book indelible in your memory.
Here are some of the reviews about MEDI-THRIVE:
“Understanding the art of medicine brings out the best of your natural qualities and potentials. Your positive values and potentials have effects on minimising the stress of the medical journey and indeed the practice of medicine itself. I readily recommend to all medical students, resident doctors, and senior doctors the need to have in their bookshelf or library, this invaluable work titled MEDI-THRIVE.”

“…a repertoire of life lessons, strategies, and stratagems, borne out of personal life events and experiences and those of her kindred spirits, as a compass and an aidé-mémoire, to navigate the delicate labyrinths of the highly demanding trade of the stethoscope, both academically and socially. She has written the book in a lucid and easily digestible literary menu. The ten rules touched on the salient pillars and tenets that could readily serve as the Ten Commandments for Successful Medical Education.”

“This book is about navigating the rigours of medical school as it is about triumphing over the inherent challenges in life. Shakirat has walked her talk, and in an engaging and relatable style of writing that is flush with captivating visual imagery, expert knowledge, humorous anecdotes, memorable quotes and enlightening honesty, she simplifies what it takes to tackle and achieve the tough goals we have set in life. This is a book for anyone who wonders how they can become what they want to be, when everything else tells them that they can’t.”

“An excellent resource with so many words of wisdom and a lot of essential nuggets for anyone going through medical school and residency; it is also for people starting out in any vocation or profession too and along the journey of life… Wish I had something like this to guide me way back then too. The words – “An Abundant life” just kept coming to my mind as I read through this book.”

“I am glad to see that she has gone on to do this and as far as first “work” goes, this has been a spectacular effort! She has written about medical trainings through medical school and “Residency”, drawing from personal experiences and those of others and the stories and lessons therein are delivered in a simple style that encourages the reader to stay glued and even want to come back for more. Every lesson would take you from the formative and impressionable years to when you are more accomplished and need to draw more from what is being impacted. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to all and sundry.”
