Dr. Shermila Jayasinghe, founder of Life in Focus, once walked your path.
As an IMG herself, she faced the confusion, overwhelm, and silence that many doctors suffer alone. But she didn’t stop there.
Instead, she turned her pain into purpose — creating the MEDSTART framework to help thousands of IMGs thrive, not just survive.
Now a top career coach, mindset expert, and IMG advocate, she’s on a mission to transform lost potential into unstoppable progress.
Before MEDSTART, I felt completely lost. Now I’m employed at a public hospital and feel more confident than ever
This was the missing piece. The mindset coaching alone changed my approach to everything
