Bond University

AAKRITI

Medicine Student

I love to travel. Despite my desire to see the world, Australia was the last place I ever thought I'd visit. But when the opportunity to come to the Gold Coast to study Medicine knocked on my door, I knew it was destiny!

STUDYING: Medicine

INTERESTS: I love to cook for my friends. It's the best way to socialise and have fun times together.

HOMETOWN: I have two! New Delhi, India and Toronto, Canada.

DREAM JOB: Working with 'Doctors without Borders' would give me great satisfaction. Maybe even going back to India for a while to work in remote villages where being able to see a doctor is a rare privilege for the locals.

HOW BOND IS HELPING ME GET THERE: Even though Medicine is a new course here at Bond, it has covered a great deal of areas that will ensure I have the skills required to be a good doctor. And as much as I miss the big universities in Canada, Bond, being a smaller university, gives me the opportunity to get to know lots of people. I'm part of both the Health Science and Medical Students Association and the Medical Students Society of Bond University. It's a great way to meet people from other faculties, acquire social and interpersonal skills and actually make a difference in the Bond community.
