Presentation by Poojan Shrestha (Clinical researcher, Cancer advocate, Dental Surgeon)

Having completed the MSc in International Health and Tropical Medicine in 2015-16, Poojan has been working in various capacities as a researcher of infectious diseases and oral health; a cancer advocate; and a clinician and more recently as a candidate for a PhD in Epidemiology. In this session, he will be sharing some of my personal experiences serving as a cancer advocate in Nepal, a researcher in a resource-limited setting, and as a clinician working with individual patients. In addition to talking about the implications of serving at different levels, he will highlight some of the non-COVID effects he and his team have come across during the COVID-19 pandemic.
