Episode 32: Tafsir Ahmed - The Deception of First Impressions, Global health and Leadership during Medical School

This week we discuss the importance of balance for medical students in leadership roles while being students. We explore how to make the most of your £9k degree at university, mentorship and the why the world is now fascinated with global health. Find out how our ‘not so great’ first impressions of Tafsir completely changed after a last minute maternal aid trip to Bangladesh alongside all the funny and wonderful stories. He shares first hand his experience of helping pregnant mothers lacking access to healthcare, which led him to eventually becoming the Head of Academia and Innovation for MAA.
