“My decision to pursue public health after completing my BDS was influenced by a desire to make a broader impact on community well-being. I realized that by focusing on public health, I could address health issues at a population level and contribute to preventive healthcare initiatives. This shift in focus aligned with my passion for improving healthcare access and outcomes for underserved populations, driving my decision to pursue a career in public health.

My experience at IIPH Delhi has been extremely delightful. The engaging lectures and enlightening talks held by experts on a regular basis has broadened my understanding about various dimensions of public health in India. It’s been an academically enriching journey where consistent and constructive feedback on presentations and reports allowed me to refine my skillset further.
The conversations I have had with my professors from the very beginning have helped me tremendously in evolving as a responsible and aware public health professional. This valuable mentorship led me to pursue my research and co-curricular interests with fervour. I had the opportunity to co-lead a team in an international case competition hosted by The University of Melbourne where we bagged the Top regional Prize. Such experiences honed my competencies in analytic reasoning, problem solving, networking, and collaboration.
The unwavering encouragement from the Professors at IIPH-Delhi has helped me secure a placement at the esteemed National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC) in the Community Processes-Comprehensive Primary Healthcare Division which marks an important milestone in my career.
With heartfelt gratitude, embarking on a Master of Public Health (MPH) journey at the Indian Institute of Public Health-Delhi (IIPH-Delhi) marked a pivotal transition in my career from Dentistry to Public Health. As I delved deeper into the field, I realized the profound impact of Preventive measures and Community outreach, prompting my decision to enroll at IIPH-Delhi. The institute’s rigorous academic environment and comprehensive curriculum, covering Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Health Systems Programs, provided me with a solid foundation in Public Health theory. My internship at NITI Aayog and NHM (U.P) further enriched my practical skills, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. Crucially, the steadfast support of IIPH-Delhi’s Placement Cell facilitated my placement at HCL-Samuday, underscoring the institute’s commitment to fostering successful career transitions in public health. I am deeply grateful for the invaluable guidance and opportunities provided by IIPH-Delhi, which have been instrumental in shaping my journey towards making a meaningful impact in the field of Public Health.
I have done Bachelor in Dental surgery and Master in Public Health (MPH). At IIPH-Shillong, I got the opportunity to study at one of the best public health schools. There are many guest lectures, field visits and surprise modules that allow us to think further. I am currently working on the Malnutrition and Anemia Program where I lead a team of 15 field coordinators, and also monitor, and oversee the pilot and community survey. I learnt these skills during the MPH program at IIPH through various modules. During my courses at IIPH-Shillong, I learnt skills such as program management, teamwork, data management and communication. The best part of the curriculum was the dissertation, which gave me insight into community surveys, questionnaire designing, data management and fieldwork. In my current job, all of these skills are helping me to do my best and receive recognition from the team leader for my performance during my tenure.
