Educational/professional background
I am Indrani, an enthusiastic Paediatrician from India and studying MSc Public Health. I have proudly worked during the COVID-19 Pandemic, in a government hospital in my country, where I had first-hand experience with managing a pandemic and contributing my skills towards my nation and people.
Research interests or career goals
During my time, I realised that apart from being a clinician, knowledge of Public Health and the prevention of diseases is equally important. Hence my journey to LSHTM began, with the vision of becoming a holistic doctor: a connoisseur at prevention as well as cure.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
I chose Public Health, General Stream as it provided me with the flexibility to take up a variety of different modules offered by LSHTM, without restricting my field. My interests are aligned towards Maternal and Child Health, and Infectious Diseases. My aim is to use the skills that I gain to become a Clinician with Researching Abilities.
I also am the current Student Representative Council President, a platform which has introduced me to the world of leadership, planning and management.
The encouraging faculty and diverse environment make LSHTM the best place to be to learn about Public Health.
