ABOUT THE AUTHOR Olarewaju Oladipo, MD is the founder of KAINJI, a career mentoring and networking platform with a focus on the needs of Nigerian medical graduates in pursuit of career in the United States. This initiative has not only triggered a culture shift in the attitudes of young professionals of Nigerian descent (and others), it has eased the challenges that many international medical professionals face when they arrive in the United States. The platform remains active and continues to offer the necessary guidance that is so important in the early, critical stages of the careers of international medical graduates. Since its inception many years ago, KAINJI has grown to be a grassroots community of individuals who are committed to sharing their knowledge and supporting one another and the community at large - both in the United States and in Nigeria.
