About PlanConnect

A Passion For Connecting Professionals In Science, Medicine And Public Health.

Healthcare professionals today are extensively trained and incredibly passionate and skilled. But with heightened job demands and the ever-changing landscape of medicine, they often feel underutilized — and exhausted.

Many of them want to explore their career options but don’t know how to begin or where to look. That’s where I come in.

Founded in 2023, PlansConnect exists to help you advance your career using valuable tools for networking, collaboration and professional growth in science and medicine. We’ll help you embrace new opportunities and achieve your full career potential.

Meet Swati Shah

Prior to founding PlansConnect, I worked as a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist, public health specialist and a medical science liaison in the pharmaceutical industry. At each stage, my career was built and shaped by my connections and training in New Orleans, as well as across the USA and internationally.

It’s my goal to help every PlansConnect client benefit from my passion, knowledge and experience.
