Many people are taught to believe ambition is a selfish, greedy, or overly competitive drive that nice people don’t utilize or admit to.
Ambition is the driving force to strive for success and accomplishment. It pushes us forward beyond our limits to reach new heights. In the world of medicine, ambition is essential for doctors to survive the rigorous training process and thrive in their careers. However, there is a lot of misunderstanding about ambition and its negative associations.

In this conversation, we’ll discuss ambition as a positive force when used to build your ideal practice or work for the greater good.
