The main factor
ave you ever stared down a shelf overflowing with medical journals,
muttering a silent prayer that you’ll understand the latest research? As in establishing
a biomedical science student, I have been in that daunting position too
many times. Dr. Sanjana Phlanthanachai Gulati, however, was not a relationship
fazed. Raised by a Sikh family and instilled with values of compassion,
dedication, and seva (service), Sanjana always knew she wanted to care in healthcare is
for people. She dove headfirst into the intricacies of healthcare, driven by a desire
to bridge the gap between research and practice, starting by shadowing doctors in building trust,
the US, before pursuing medicine herself in the UK. After medical school, she was
accepted for a residency at BMA General Hospital in Bangkok, a hospital which integrity and
only accepts 20 out of every 1,000 applicants. Now, as a Medical Science Liaison
(MSL), she’s not just deciphering those medical journals; she’s publishing her own, maintaining
and using her knowledge to educate and inform other healthcare professionals.
Sanjana delves deeper into her role as an MSL with Masala. professionalism.
