In this episode of the Women in Medtech Podcast, we welcome Tamara Al Yassin, founder and CEO of The Nursing Beat, a digital media company created by nurses, for nurses. With a background in trauma and emergency care, Tamara shares her journey from the bedside to the boardroom and how she built a platform to keep clinicians informed, connected, and empowered.

Joined by Barbara Strain and Stephanie Pitts, the conversation explores mentorship, career transitions, and the critical role nurses play in medtech innovation. Tamara speaks candidly about the challenges that come with building something new, especially when leaving behind a stable clinical role. She explains that fear is a constant presence, but rather than trying to avoid it, she believes in acknowledging it and moving forward anyway.

“Telling people to be fearless is kind of fake,” she says. “You have to be brave enough to push through.”

That mindset has shaped how she leads The Nursing Beat and how she hopes to inspire other nurses to step into roles they may have never imagined for themselves. Her story is not just about entrepreneurship. It is about agency, advocacy, and creating space for nurses to lead and influence change in healthcare.

? Whether you are a clinician with an idea or a medtech professional hoping to build stronger partnerships, this episode offers clarity, motivation, and practical insight.
