Realities of becoming a medical doctor in the Netherlands as a Ugandan, with oncologist Dr. Joachim Kikomeko

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Joachim Kikomeko, an inspiring oncologist who left Uganda before completing his medical degree and moved to the Netherlands with an ever alive dream to become a medical doctor. With no Dutch background, he learned the language in just about six months—then dove headfirst into Dutch medical school against all odds. Today, he's a successful oncologist, using his story to mentor immigrants, inspire future doctors, and prove that anything is possible🎙️ We talk about:Starting over in a new country after moving to The Netherlands.The struggles of learning a new language and Dutch in particular.Getting into medical school (again!).What drives him to give back and being open to mentoring others.The importance of community after moving abroad. His message for international students and newcomers.🔥 Whether you're an aspiring doctor, a student abroad, or just need a boost of inspiration—this story will move you. I know it definitely does me every time I think about it. 👉 Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more real, raw, and uplifting stories of integration and triumph like this one!Here is a link to the Career Advancement Network (CAN): https://can256.nlHere is a link to Dr. Joachim's Linkedin profile (Joachim Kikomeko) for those who are interested in connecting with him. https://www.linkedin.com/in/joachim-kikomeko-1a8ba260/You can also connect with me via the following handles:LinkedIn: Hillmann Batuo Instagram: Ox_legacyTikTok: Ox_legacy#ImmigrantSuccess #DoctorJourney #Inspiration #MedicineAbroad #Motivation #FromUgandaToNetherlands #MedicalSchool #netherlands #movingabroad #livingabroad.
