As I realized how important preventive health is, I ventured into the field of public health to create an impact on thousands of lives. I am passionate about increasing awareness in communities about the importance of nutrition and related illnesses and also utilize my clinical skills in the treatment and prevention of dental problems.
In the next year, I see myself acquiring the skills required to get my career started in the field of public health. I wish to gain more experience, develop a strong work ethic and improve my analytical and writing skillset and learn new methodologies that will strengthen my foundation and will help me in my future endeavors in Public health. As of now, my short term goal is to get a job that compliments my expertise and helps me widen my horizons with exciting learning opportunities in the next couple of months
In the next three years, I see myself as a public health professional and educator working in the government sector and with NGOs, especially in rural areas. I also wish to pursue Ph.D. in my desired area of interest and utilize my knowledge for the well-being of the community. I am open to new opportunities that come my way during my journey and learn as I grow in my career
I believe that FHTS will help me achieve my goals. I am ready to embrace all the obstacles that come in my way and serve society in the best possible way I can.
I have completed my 3 months 15 days dissertation internship here at FHTS and it has been an amazing learning experience. This journey has been useful for me as I got to learn about the National family health survey and various public health policies of different countries. I was able to enhance and sharpen my scientific writing, analytical and presentation skills as well as my time management skills during this dissertation internship.
I am extremely thankful to Dr. Ashish Joshi Sir, for providing such an excellent platform for upgrading my skills and I sincerely appreciate the support and guidance the entire FHTS team provided throughout the internship.
