I feel immense pride to be able to write this today as an Executive member of GIMSOC’s Alumni Team and as the Director of the Post-Graduate Education Consulting Program. I have served as the Head of Academics for GIMSOC at TSMU and it’s been a wonderful experience. From conducting Mediquest, to attending multiple seminars, to devouring snacks at Cakes and Consultations – it’s been a highly enlightening and thrilling journey.
But now, with GIMSOC, we’ve got the ball rolling, and there’s lots to look forward to. Our primary goal as the GIMSOC Alumni team, is simply to help guide aspiring Doctors in their journeys before, during and after the graduation period, which we know can be extremely daunting. Our main motive is to help students stay updated, and to provide a helping hand by charting a flow of events that students can follow, to be able to pursue their dreams.
We also look forward to helping students stay informed about upcoming guidelines on exams, deadlines to submit applications etc. in each region they wish to pursue their medical careers in.
We’re starting this new chapter, with all hopes to ease a graduate’s life, and to help them solidify on a plan going forward. Also stay on the lookout for a lot of Webinars that are going to be conducted, to talk about life as a postgraduate, and tips on how to crack examinations and applications.
I hope this team can provide as much help as you need, and I convey my best wishes to each and every aspiring medical student out there. Let’s get started.
Regards,
Vikram Satish Lakshman
Director of Postgraduate Education Consulting Program
