Goals

Next year, I see myself pursuing Masters in Public Health from a prestigious university. I am interested in studying Epidemiology as it will allow me to learn and understand various diseases and their prevention and control. The primary goal of the epidemiologist is to identify those factors that have a causal impact on disease or health outcome development, which resonates with my goal as a healthcare professional. I see myself working and undertaking a research project related to cancer since that is the field I am most interested in, with learned and experienced professors and researchers. In the next three years, after completing my master's I want to work as an epidemiologist for globally eminent organizations such as the World Health Organization or Centre for Disease Control and Prevention so that I can contribute to facilitating preventive and effective treatment measures for fatal diseases. I want to focus on Cancer related research as Cancer epidemiology plays a very important role in oncology. Epidemiological studies help in establishing risk factors, the effectiveness of treatment in the general population etc . As it was on the basis of epidemiological studies that we know smoking causes lung cancer so these studies are very important at the population level. Working on a disease that used to be a death sentence but now due to research and advancements has improved chances of survival is the motivating factor for my interest in this specific area. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute towards certain positive developments in the prevention and treatment of cancer after a few years.
