About me


About Me – Adhithyan 🩺

Hello there! I’m Adhithyan, a dedicated healthcare student on a journey toward making a positive impact in the medical field. From early days of fascination to navigating clinical rotations today, I’m motivated by compassion, curiosity, and a desire to learn.

🌟 My Story

My healthcare dream took root early—I was drawn to helping others and exploring science. Studying medicine in Kerala, India, has exposed me to diverse clinical environments, from teaching hospitals to small community clinics. These experiences have deepened my empathy and highlighted the importance of teamwork in patient care.

Seeing staff handle large patient loads in public hospitals has taught me valuable lessons about resilience and collaboration in healthcare settings—values I carry into my own training.

What I’m Studying

Currently, I’m immersed in a healthcare program that combines:

  • Medical sciences: Anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology.

  • Clinical skills: Vital signs, medical procedures, diagnostic tests, direct patient care.

  • Public health & ethics: Health promotion, bioethics, patient education, cultural competence.
    (Concorde and other health student guides emphasize a full day of lectures, labs, hands-on patient care, group-study, and time for self-directed learning.) (Notes from a Nursing Student 🩺, Concorde Career Colleges)

Balancing theory and practice has kept my days full—from early mornings attending lectures to afternoons in labs and evening clinical placements, along with catch-up in independent study sessions.

Why I Chose Healthcare

At the heart of healthcare lies service, connection, and responsibility. Whether providing emotional comfort or explaining treatment to a worried patient, I love that this field allows me to truly make a difference in someone’s life.

The challenges of intense schedules, academic pressure, and clinical complexities only strengthen my resolve. Each rotation brings new lessons, faces, and perspectives, reminding me that patients are teachers, too.

  • Health inspiration: Insights and encouragement for fellow students, families, and community members.

  • Personal growth: Sharing small victories, setbacks, and the personal side of learning healthcare.

Some Go‑To Practices & Passions

  • Routine support: Early alarms, mindful breaks, hands-on labs, and quiet study time form the backbone of my daily rhythm. Consistency helps keep motivation alive.

  • Purpose-driven learning: Embracing evidence-based practices and seeking ways to humanize healthcare delivery—echoing the ethos of future professionals shaped by the pandemic. (Teen Vogue)

  • Outside hobbies: Connecting with nature, reading, photography, music—or just catching a favorite TV show—grounds me beyond the student life.

  • Narrative and reflection: I value storytelling and reflection—perfect tools for emotional processing and improving patient empathy, as narrative medicine programs emphasize. (Notes from a Nursing Student 🩺, theguardian.com)

Compassion Listening deeply, showing kindness, seeing patients as people
Curiosity Asking questions, staying updated, learning new skills

Looking Ahead

  • Blog expansion: I hope to interview mentors, share study strategies, and post clinical stories that inspire or inform.
