Jahangir Alom BM6, 2018

Fourth year student

My ambition is to tackle public health inequalities and make a change for the better

Southampton’s BM6 programme offered me the independence I wanted alongside the support I needed to take full advantage of the wide range of educational and social opportunities available here.

Taking an elective placement in Bangladesh has enabled me to explore comparisons between very different public healthcare systems, but also provided a platform from which to build the necessary leadership skills I will need to make my career count.

Jingy is the current MedSoc President and founder of WAMSoc (Widening Access to Medicine Society).
