London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

Educational/professional background

Veterinarian (Graduated in Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry from India).

Research interests or career goals

I am interested in antimicrobial resistance, One Health, public policy, global health policy and women leadership in veterinary and animal husbandry.

Why I chose LSHTM/my programme

I chose the MSc One Health: Ecosystems, Humans and Animals programme because I wanted to understand how human, animal and environmental health are interconnected, 
and how challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, emerging infectious diseases and climate change require collaborative solutions. With my background in veterinary medicine, 
I wanted to move beyond the clinical perspective and develop the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to contribute to global One Health policy, research and practice. The  opportunity to study jointly at the RVC and LSHTM, bringing together expertise in veterinary and public health, made this programme the perfect fit for my aspirations.
 

Extra information

I can offer guidance to prospective students from a veterinary background, particularly those interested in transitioning into One Health and public health. I can also share my experience and advice on applying for scholarships, including the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship, preparing a competitive application, and navigating the admissions process as an international student.
