What I enjoyed most about studying my programme at LSHTM

Being able to advance my skills by learning from world leading experts and applying them in the field in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and to my clinical practice; becoming part of lifelong collegiate networks and gaining a new understanding of global health and operational research.

Since graduating I have been...

I published my research on syndromic surveillance and had the opportunity to present it internationally. It has informed an epidemiological approach to my clinical practice - I’m currently working in tropical medicine in far north Australia. Since the pandemic started I have also worked with our international airports to screen and triage incoming passengers for COVID-19 and assess COVID-19 risk in regional hospitals.
