About Priyanka Gandhi

I am an IMT 1 trainee recently started in the North West. I have a keen interest in medical education and enjoyed teaching in various capacities from face to face to recently online based platforms. When I was a medical student I joined lots of the different medical specialty clubs. I was a part of the gastro society as well as the Global health society. Looking back, you get very little study leave in FY years (it gets better in IMT but in FY you hardly get any) and so I wish I’d done more of this as a student.  I really enjoyed going to a medical trainees conference, as I learnt lots that interested me in this massive speciality and met more motivated people! This cemented my decision to apply for IMT! My Takeaway would be that even if you are not sure about the specialty going on a related course (I went on a career in radiology course that my hospital was offering). Although it wasn’t for me – I would never have realised if I had not taken the lead to go on this course.
