MA MEDICINE IN SOCIETY, UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD

Having completed three years of Medicine at the University of Sheffield, I am now intercalating in order to study for a Masters. This programme offers the perfect blend of biomedical research with the ethical, economic and political aspects that underlie healthcare. This course will act as a stepping stone towards a career working with the World Health Organisation. Cognisant of the huge disproportion of Muslims in medical governance and policy making, my mission is to bridge this gap. We need better representation on a higher scale, and by realising this, healthcare could improve for millions of Muslims, as well as for wider society.
