06 This academic term working for MEDLIFE as a medical student has been profoundly meaningful. It has given me the opportunity to witness first-hand the transformative power of healthcare in disadvantaged communities throughout South America. From setting up healthcare stations to providing essential medical services, every moment has been a testament to the impact we can make when we come together with a shared purpose. The gratitude and hope in the eyes of those we serve have left an indelible mark on my journey as a future healthcare provider. Through MEDLIFE, I have not only gained invaluable clinical experience but also learned the true meaning of compassion and the importance of fighting for equitable healthcare for all. This term has reinforced my commitment to serving those in need and restored my passion and motivation to become a doctor. Service/Humanitarian Work - Volunteering for MEDLIFE, Latin America and Africa (Semester 2) Hurip Ethan (EY2023/24) My research attachment at Johns Hopkins was definitely a rewarding experience. Apart from gaining hands-on experience in animal handling, lab work, protocol design, and data analysis, I also had the precious opportunity to attend one of the largest annual neuroscience conferences in Washington, DC. Witnessing the latest technological and scientific breakthroughs in neuroscience further fuelled my passion for medical research. Beyond research, I actively engaged in other learning activities. This included sitting in on classes like biology and statistics, observing neuromuscular clinics and neurosurgeries at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and participating in neuroscience and behavioural clinical trials. It was also an unforgettable journey immersing myself in a foreign city, embracing a different culture and connecting with people from across the globe. I believe all these enriching experiences contribute to my goal of becoming a wellrounded, open-minded, and passionate clinician-scientist in the future.
