Goals:

Hi, my name is Dr. Akanksha Chauhan and I am a dentist by profession, pursuing my master's in Public Health. In the next 1 year, I see myself interning at one of the best clinical research internships available completing my dissertation on probably something related to women’s health, maybe breast cancer, or how obesogens contribute to infertility. I see myself completing my post-graduation and securing a wonderful job or opportunity in the same field where I can take my research work forward and excel in it, publish many articles. I view myself as a very confident and comfortable person in my skin.
I possess good leadership skills - the potential to lead projects, hence, In the next 3-5 years, I see myself as someone leading a project, working towards a better future. My ideal path will be to work with great organizations in the country and abroad to develop & polish my skills and develop my career. I like challenges and that’s how I want my work to be, constantly meeting new challenges and learning something new on the way. I want to learn as much as possible and as quickly as possible.
I have set up multiple goals for myself which I hope to achieve in the next 3-5 years. One of which is to do something for the environment also. I see myself being a part of at least one environmental project that would save the environment.
Apart from that I also wish to lead my own firm someday, doing some great work in the research and public health world.

Testimonial:

FHTS is a place to learn and the practical application of it in research. They provide a variety of training and internship opportunities for those interested in learning and expanding their knowledge in the subject of public health. FHTS has been a very informative and new experience for me. It has not only improved my skills but also taught me several aspects of public health-- data analysis, interpretation, and scientific writing. The mentors are helpful and provide a friendly yet professional environment and help you to refine your abilities and knowledge. SMART Rapid Tracker was other new and fantastic experience for me, it made finding covid19 data very easy. The journey with FHTS has been a great learning experience.
