We are making progress with undergraduate medical education and palliative care
On the 28th of October, Pallium India spent a whole day with newly qualified doctors at SUT Academy of Medical Sciences, Vattappara, Trivandrum. They have just passed their MBBS examination and are going to have one year of practical hands-on experience as house surgeons before they become full-fledged doctors.
What enthusiasm! We are so very glad that we had the opportunity to talk to them before their first day as doctors. They are so full of eagerness and compassion, and somehow we have to make sure that the health care system does not make them numb and unresponsive. Here are some of the responses:
“Very intriguing and moving. Till now, I was in total darkness about the plight of millions of people in horrific pain.”
“Sessions were very informative and addressed many issues that I would not have otherwise noticed. It made me realize that my chosen profession is indeed a noble one.”
“Till now we were not aware about pain and palliative management which is highly essential as being a part of medical system.”
Young doctors, all the best to you. May you enjoy your profession.
