MY VOYAGE IN MEDICINE DEPARTMENT

Hello and welcome! This is Navyatha Pothula currently doing my internship.

 As the curtain falls on this chapter of my life, I reflect with gratitude and sentiment on the profound journey through the corridors of the medicine department.

In this blog, I express my appreciation for the lessons learned, the connections forged, and the growth experienced during my time in this transformative field.

Before I embark on the next phase of my career,

 I want to express my sincere gratitude to the faculty, mentors, colleagues, and patients who have been integral to my medical journey. Their guidance, support, and shared experiences have been invaluable pillars, shaping not only my professional identity but also my personal growth.

 

Journey:

My first interaction in medicine department was in my 5th semester where in I was brought together with my pgs and seniors and many of my classmates in a lecture hall where we discussed cases posted in our department with wide range of topics and perspectives the multiple connections by which we could give the interlink the topics of the conversation

One such condition was my first very presentation :

Then came my 3rd proff and final year where I entered this workshop of clinicals

The demanding nature of medical studies necessitates effective time management. Juggling lectures, clinical responsibilities, and personal life forced me to refine my organizational skills. Learning to prioritize and allocate time efficiently has become an invaluable asset both in my studies and daily life.
