Atrey Manoj Gaonkar
Student | Full-time | IndiaMSc Public Health
Educational/professional background
I hold a bachelor's degree in Alternative and Complementary Medicine and have worked as a Medical Officer in an occupational health firm.
Research interests or career goals
My interests lie in health systems research and occupational health. My previous research focused on chronic neck pain management in cervical spondylosis, exploring integrative approaches to long-term care. In future, I aim to contribute to designing practical, scalable interventions that improve population health outcomes, especially for working populations and underserved communities.
Why I chose LSHTM / my programme
LSHTM’s global legacy in public health, strong research culture, and policy impact made it the ideal place for me. I chose MSc Public Health to shift from treating individual patients to shaping interventions that benefit communities at scale.
Extra information
As a student ambassador, I hope to support prospective students from clinical and alternative medicine backgrounds who want to transition into public health and make that leap with clarity and confidence.
