Why did you apply to do the Postgraduate Fellowship Programme at Imperial College London WHOCC?
The field of public health plays a critical role in the promotion of health, prevention of disease, and empowerment of individuals to manage illness and disabilities. I am interested to learn more in how to enhance my skills in different fields of public health, how to conduct research, audit, and analysis for different health related issues. Public health education provided by Imperial WHOCC will teach me how to discover and share health interventions that ensure health and equity now and far into the future. Ultimately, the Postgraduate Fellowship Programme will help me to integrate family medicine practice with needed public health to promote better primary care services in my country.

Why did you apply to do the Postgraduate Fellowship Programme at Imperial College London WHOCC?
What appealed to me about this Postgraduate Fellowship programme was that it offered me the best opportunity to enhance my knowledge and clinical skills in my areas of interest. The WHOCC Fellowship programme provides hands-on experience as well as teaching sessions which I felt would give me greater understanding of all aspects of clinical conditions. The research skills I will learn, how to analyse, summarise, and interpret complex epidemiological data, will enable me in the future to better promote health and, when possible, prevent diseases. Learn more effective teaching methods and communication skills from the experienced educators at Imperial WHOCC will make me a more capable clinician educator. I like teaching, and when I return to my home country after the programme, I will be able to share the knowledge I have gained and provide training to others.
