Adeyemi-Levites: From medical school to chartered accountancy
Lara Adejoro
Oluwadamilare Adeyemi-Levites studied medicine due to parental influence and environmental pressure despite wanting to study Economics or Finance.
After six years in medical school, one year of internship, and a year as a medical officer, he decided to hang his stethoscope for healthcare financing, risk management, and insurance.
Adeyemi-Levites said apart from going after his passion, poor remuneration, inadequate resources, and poor working environment helped form his decision of transitioning to another career.
To launch into his new career direction, he wrote the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants exams to become a chartered accountant, seven years ago.
