Our interlocutor manages to balance her roles as an entrepreneur, doctor, professor and humanitarian successfully. She was recently appointed a Tesla Ambassador, thus receiving yet more recognition for her work. Here we discuss how she achieves success in various fields and the values that guide her.
How do you balance your various roles – as an entrepreneur, doctor, professor and humanitarian – and achieve success in all of them?
— It is challenging to be a woman, a mother, the owner of a clinic, a doctor and a professor, while also engaging in humanitarian work. Every day is filled with obligations: organising the clinic, working with patients, teaching students and caring for family and friends. The key for me is passion for the job and a desire to contribute. Striking a balance requires a lot of energy, but the satisfaction and happiness I get from patients, colleagues and coworkers make it all worthwhile. Success comes from dedication, love for the job, and continuous learning.
How do you deal with the challenges posed by the pace of technological and scientific advancements in medicine?
— I follow innovations closely and strive to stay ahead of them. My experience allows me to recognise and combine methods, therapies and materials, adapting them to the individual needs of patients. ž
With regular education, both attended and conducted, knowledge and experience grow continuously, enabling me to provide top-notch care
My clinic is among the first to receive samples for testing, which is a testament to the medical community’s trust in us. With regular education, both attended and conducted, knowledge and experience grow continuously, enabling me to provide top-notch care.
What does it mean to you that you’ve become a Tesla Ambassador?
— This recognition is a great achievement, both for me personally and for my profession and country. As a Tesla Ambassador, I have the opportunity to promote science, research and the values that Tesla left behind. I thereby contribute to society and represent our country in the best light. The goal is to establish a scientific institute in America that will further promote science, culture and innovation.
What qualities make a successful person in medicine?
— Success comes from a combination of knowledge, effort, dedication and love for the job. As John D. Rockefeller once said, “Do what you know, and put every atom of energy into it”. Medicine requires extreme work, the monitoring of trends and a developed sense of aesthetics. With work and learning, success follows, but it is crucial to remain dedicated and consistent.
How do you plan to further advance your work and contribute to medicine?
— I will continue to impart my knowledge to younger generations, motivating them to improve. I want them to see the whole person, because what is inside is also reflected on the outside. I will continually develop my clinic, provide security for patients and improve the regenerative medicine system. With such an approach, we can achieve much more.
