The NST Career Talk series was a great opportunity for professionals in health care to connect with school leavers. Speakers, Dr Chow Kai Foo of Malaysian Dental Association, Puan Salwati Abd. Kadir of Pharmacy Board Malaysia, Datuk Kuljit Mahindar Singh of Malaysian Medical Association and Dr Ahmed Awil Adam of Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia, shared about the challenges and opportunities graduates will face in the healthcare industry.
More than 250 participants, school leavers and parents, attended the career talk which was held at the Women's Institute of Management, last Sunday. During the talk, speakers gave their viewers a realistic view of how the country's healthcare industry is faring at the moment. Aside from providing guidelines to students, the speakers shared some facts and information that will allow them to create predictions for the coming year.
Here are some important pointers you need to consider before embarking on a career in medicine, dentistry or pharmacy.
