Episode 2 features Dr. Chinyere Okpaleke, better know as “Ask Dr. Chi”. She is a Family Medicine Physician Hospitalist. She talks about the flexibility provide by her current practice model and what led her into this field. She talks about balancing a busy schedule as a collegiate basketball player while completing a rigorous pre-med course load. In addition to her practice, Dr. Chi started a non-profit organization, “Reality Speaks” which provides mentorship, guidance and support to student-athletes. “Reality Speaks facilitates student-athletes through a series of specialized programs dedicated to the successful transition after sports, while enhancing individuals’ mindset to be motivated beyond athletics.”
Dr. Chi and I first met in 2010 when we were attending graduate school at The University of South Florida. In the 10 years that have transpired since, we have both come a long way and I had a fantastic time catching up before, during and after this interview.
