Executive Experience


USERN Executive Internship


I began my role as an executive intern at USERN from January 2024, helping in running USERN Research Week, USERN Research Internship, and E-Learning. This oppurtunity is so valuable for me, helping me to expand my soft skills, including teamwork, communication, and time management.


GI Club


My co-workers and I have established a student scientific association on gastroenterology. We plan to hold educational sessions, make podcasts, provide research opportunities for students interested in gastroenterology, and so on. This has been a valuable experience for me to develop my creativity and teamwork skills.


Medication


Medication is a student scientific association with a wide range of activities; from medical education to self-development. In my opinion, the highlight of my work at Medication is holding Case Based Learning (CBL) sessions for basic sciences medical students.
