Adhwa as a biomedical student at IHS
Describe your life as a biomedical science student.
I studied health sciences together with Medicine Cohort 4 throughout my first year, and then studied modules specialised in biomedical sciences such Clinical Microbiology (Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology and Parasitology), Histopathology, Medical Genetics, Clinical Immunology and more for the next two years. Also, as partial GenNext undergaduates, I also took external modules (which are usually our time to clear our minds from health sciences) such as Children’s Literature and Maths & Technology. Then being in a special first cohort, we did our academic final year in the third year, allowing us to do our Research Projects (my most heavy-reading and time-spent module!) throughout the year. Then in the final year, we will be heading for our Discovery Year. Not forgetting, my cohort only has 11 people, and being a small group makes us close to each other as family.

What do you think about IHS?
IHS has taught me so many things, academically and personally. It is a place where I really learnt independence. The admin and teaching staffs, also the technicians are very friendly and approachable, making my university life worth it.

What is your favourite subject(s)?
Firstly, I like Anatomy in my first year because it is my opportunity to draw stuffs on my notes and even on the whiteboards (and trust me, I even drew on my exam paper too!) Apart from that, I like it for the sessions that we have practically, which involved organ dissections. And then also, recently I am in love with Research Project as we were given the chance to perform our experiments by ourselves. It is the hardest module I ever had so far as a biomedical scientist, but we survived impressively!

Describe your happiest moment in IHS.
My cohort has this tradition that we started in the first semester – we went out for movies, ambuyat, or beach on the exact day of our final exam paper. It’s like our run of freedom. It’s funny that during the exam week, we seemed to be more excited about the tradition outing than to worry about our final paper! In addition, there is another tradition involving the whole faculty in which the juniors must perform during the seniors’ graduation night – I performed for two senior cohorts! The dance rehearsals and performances were memorable and full of laughter. I never qualified myself as a dance expert, but I had fun anyway!

How do you define love?
Hard question. I’ll say it’s indescribable.
What do you look for in an ideal guy?
Beckham’s well built height and shoulders, Niel Caffrey’s jawline, McSteamy’s voice, Gong Yoo’s hiding eyes… opst! Did I go overboard? Haha! Just kidding!

Which area of biomedical sciences would you like to purse?
To be honest, I am not yet sure. I might go for Public Health or even, Experimental Research. But you may never know, since I will be going to a Neuroscience based institute, I might eventually choosing that path. My wildest dream would be to be a designer for the Anatomy models and research experiments – if it ever exists!

Just express yourself. Be heard, and love your coursemates!
