Join us for real-life stories filled with passion and purpose.

It Takes Heart is an unmissable new podcast series where healthcare workers share their honest and unique stories from the frontline.

Hosted by cmr’s own CEO and Co-Founder Samantha Miklos and Head of Talent & Employer Branding Kate Coomber, season one features 13 episodes, with the first two available on Apple & Spotify now!

It Takes Heart reflects on our mission to create a happy healthcare community by exploring humanity at the intersection of medicine and care and we are donating $500 on behalf of every podcast guest to a charity of their choice.

It Takes Heart is a remarkable journey through the healthcare community and the people who provide compassion and care, regardless of circumstances.

Podcast guests include Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM, a former lawyer turned doctor and disability advocate and the first quadriplegic medical intern in Queensland.

In sharing his life’s story, Dr Palipana recounts his mother’s favourite saying: “You may not be able to change the world, but you can change the world for one person.”

This sentiment echoes throughout It Takes Heart as healthcare workers narrate their experiences with vulnerability and relatability.

It Takes Heart gives a voice to the husband-and-wife team who serve as surrogate parents to members of a tiny remote community. A neurodiverse dentist who strikes a balance between caring for her patients, her family and herself. A midwife who travelled the country, collecting stories as her souvenirs. A UK nurse who relocated to outback Australia and was embraced by Indigenous community members.

Hundreds of medical roles, every day.
