Academics are there, but besides that, develop yourself as an individual. As you step into the roles of future leaders, remember that your work will not only influence institutions, but you will also join with all the civic lives of countless people. Approach each challenge with a problem-solving mindset. Prioritize ethical decision-making. Because healthcare is a very sensitive area, it impacts people’s lives, and everybody must work together to bring up the reputation of the entire business.”

This institute has 4000 alumni members, and with such a strong alumni network, and a strong faculty base and the quality of education, jobs will not be a problem at all. I wish you all the best for your future.”
