India

One person’s life influences the lives of an unbelievable number of people, one of the most important lessons I learned in from my Father’s life. Being a Medical Graduate, and currently as a student in the final year of Masters degree study for a Masters in Medical Science and Technology program, I look to pursue PhD study to refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. I believe it will also serve to give direction to my goal of a career as a public health professional at an academic or state, or research oriented organization in India. I intend to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Public Health and broaden my knowledge and deepen my expertise in public health policy issues, in order to reach that goal.
