What happens when two physicians take their own career crossroads experiences and turn them into a mission to help others? In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Mandy Armitage and Dr. Morgan Leafe share how their individual transitions from clinical medicine led to the creation of the Nonclinical Physicians Network and their first in-person conference for physicians exploring careers beyond traditional practice, taking place October 17–18, 2026, in Philadelphia.
