I graduated from SRHU with a master’s degree in Hospital Administration in 2021 with a solid foundation of hospital/healthcare management. After graduation, I landed a job as an International Patient Care Manager at a Medical Tourism organization eventually working my way up to a senior manager position. To recent graduates I would say, take risks and try new things. Also, networking is incredibly important, so don't be afraid to reach out to alumni or professionals in your desired field.

Pursuing the MHA program from SRHU has been the right decision that I took in my career path. The daily postings at SRHU’s own NABH accredited teaching hospital provided me the hands on experience and confidence of handling the day to day operations of a hospital. It was because of this kind of hospital exposure that I got the opportunity to work at the prestigious AIIMS, Delhi as a Patient Care Manager soon after completing my MHA degree.
