INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT OF ROLL NO:09 FROM APRIL 01 TO MAY 30,2023

Warm greetings!

I'm Pavithra Battula, a passionate medical student from India. Welcome to my blog, where I share captivating real-life cases that have not only deepened my understanding of history taking and clinical examination but also enhanced my patient interaction skills and overall patient care approach. These cases have been invaluable in shaping my medical journey, and I'm excited to share them with you.

The experiences of a medical student during college are heavily shaped by their inquisitiveness and often times teacher and peer pressure, as we pass through the treacherous waters of medical education in our rickety boats we come learn that doctors have many more obstacles in the form of beuracracy , testing targets etc. Apart from diagnosing and treating patients , All of these experiences have crafted a curiosty in me to explore the wider healthcare delivery system and various forms it is available in the world ranging from universal healthcare in the EU  to private healthcare in the USA.

These experiences also shaped my interest in family medicine which is a comparitively young branch In India which involves following a panel of patients throughout their lifetime and engaging the community to encourage them to make positive lifestyle choices to further health outcomes in our country.
