Throughout medical school, we learned medicine and developed clinical and patient communication skills. But when I stepped out of medical school and started exploring different careers and wanted to build a resume or portfolio, it just took me so long.
When I saw the work of others online, posting carousels, animated portfolios, and stunning presentations, it amazed me; at the same time, I felt myself lacking some essential skills to showcase my work online. Though I love creativity and draw sketches, creating a simple digital image to support my content felt like a daunting task.
I believe in this digital era, even doctors need to learn tech; many of them are already building apps out there. This was like a new realization for me, so I just began my digital journey with the basic Canva course a month ago. I’m still a beginner, but I created a creative portfolio for myself, which has fueled my digital creativity as well.
What digital skill do you think doctors need to master?
