Training as a medical assistant at Savignyplatz
Joining Stefan Heinrich's ophthalmology practice was the beginning of my path into outpatient care.
About
From daily practice to management and advisory
I started in an ophthalmology practice and operating-room setting, studied health economics, gained industry and founder perspectives and today carry responsibility for five practice sites.
Short profile
Short profile
Starting my career as a medical assistant still shapes how I work today: decisions must not only look convincing on paper, but function in clinics, operating rooms, teams and management. I combine this operational view with health economics and strategic advisory.
Personal working approach
Personal working approach
I work calmly, in a structured way and close to implementation. What matters is not the most elegant theory, but an assessment that takes responsibilities, resources and care reality into account. I translate complexity into clear questions, robust decisions and realistic next steps.
Milestones
Professional path
Medical assistant, operating room routine and outpatient care
In the practice and operating room setting, I experienced how closely quality, timing, teamwork and responsibilities are connected.
Health economics and health management
The part-time degree gave me language and structure for many questions I had already seen in daily work.
A change of perspective into inpatient care
Time in an orthopedic specialist clinic showed how differently outpatient and inpatient systems operate.
Advisory, founding and entrepreneurial practice
Startup and founding contexts made clear priorities, speed and robust decisions under uncertainty essential.
Business development and industry perspective
The pharma environment added care chains, product logic, regulation and the question of responsible scaling.
Executive leadership in an MVZ context
Today I combine operational care experience with management, MVZ leadership and entrepreneurial responsibility.
