This is another exciting conversation with a physician who is
following a non-traditional career path!
Dr. Arup Roy-Burman
Dr. Roy-Burman is a pediatric intensivist (aka pediatric critical
care specialist) and former Medical Director of the Pediatric
Intensive Care Unit at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. Dr.
Roy-Burman is now the CEO of Elemeno Health, which he cofounded
in 2016.
Dr. Roy-Burman completed his undergraduate degree at UC Berkley
in 1989; completed his medical degree at UCSF in 1994; completed
his residency in pediatrics at Stanford in 1997; and then
returned to UCSF for a fellowship in pediatrics critical care
(aka PICU fellowship), which he completed in 2000.
After his fellowship, Dr. Roy-Burman took his first attending job
at the Children's Hospital of Oakland eventually crossing the Bay
to fill the role of Medical Director of the PICU at UCSF Benioff
Children’s Hospital in 2011, where he was also the Director of
Transport, Access and Outreach. In this dual role of Medical
Director of the PICU and Director of Transport, Access, and
Outreach allowed Dr. Roy-Burman to interact with large swaths of
the healthcare system from inpatient to outpatient and with all
sub-specialities who consult in the PICU. With this experience of
the inter-workings of the hospital system combined with his
clinical understanding of patient care and provider pain points,
he decided to co-found Elemeno Health, which received backing
from famed accelerator and venture capital firm, Y Combinator. At
a high-level, Elemeno Health is a SAAS (software as a service)
company whose software aims to help push best-practices to
front-line providers as well as capture feedback from these
front-liners, thereby closing the "knowledge-practice gap."
***Medical students, residents and all interested
parties:*** If interested in joining the Elemeno Health
team, Dr. Roy-Burman would love to hear from you at
info@elemenohealth.com!
Please enjoy with Dr. Roy-Burman!
P.S. We recorded this one in Dr. Roy-Burman's car on his drive
from an investor meeting in Palo Alto back to his startup digs in
Oakland, which makes for an interesting listen! Try to get
through the first 5 minutes--the audio gets much better.

Über diesen Podcast
The Undifferentiated Medical Student (TUMS) podcast is about
helping medical students to choose a medical specialty and plan a
career in medicine. The list of career options available to medical
students is large, but the time to explore them all is short.
Moreover, mentorship in medical school is lacking, and many medical
students tackle the task of career planning alone, most struggling
and almost all clutching to the hope that 3rd year clinical
rotations will definitively resolve their remaining uncertainties
about how they want to specialize. However, having been distracted
by the relentless pace of their pre-clinical curricula and specter
of Step 1, 3rd year medical students are eventually confronted with
the reality that there are simply too many specialties to explore
in one year and that they may not even get to finish their clinical
rotations before important decisions about their careers need to be
made (e.g., the planning of acting internships) if they are to be
competitive applicants. Thus, mentorless and clinically unexposed,
many medical students are forced to make wholly uninformed
decisions about their futures. By interviewing at least one
physician from each of the 120+ specialties listed on the AAMC's
Careers in Medicine website 1) about their specialty, 2) how they
decided this specialty was right for them, and 3) for advice about
long-term career planning irrespective of the specialty they went
into, this podcast aims to enumerate the details of every specialty
and provide virtual mentorship on how best to go about moving past
being an undifferentiated medical student.
