Summary

Medicine is an ever-changing field I believe to be my vocation. I enjoy working in a team but also as an individual and taking responsibility for my own actions in a challenging environment. For as long as I can remember, I have always felt a satisfaction when it comes to helping people. I am with a good academic background and exceptional co-curricular record . Meanwhile, I intend to continue learning & build up experience in General Surgery to further progress my career in the field of medicine. My career is dedicated to the field of surgery in the last 8 years, where I indulge myself into research and practical application of knowledge. My aim in the next 5 years is to complete my examination and progress my professional life. I have keen interest in research and teaching. I have keen interest in breast surgery from my training days as I would like to persue my career as a breast surgeon.
