It was a pleasant break from the pressures of work and circumstances that Anna and I have been going through during the last one month, when these final year medical students from MOSC medical college visited us and spent an afternoon with us at our cottage! Anna was helping them with co-ordianting their student research work for an over year now and got to know them personally. Last week they invited us to spend an evening with them and this week it was our turn to have them at our home! They delighted us by their presence!
The young generation is aspirational, innovative and explorative. They think, plan and follow the sense of direction they feel. They are original in their thinking and hence need formative support!
As we listen to their ways and attitudes, it is evident that the younger professionals are full of energy and enthusiasm to make a difference!
The more teachers listen to students the more we would learn how as teachers we ought to change to suit the needs of students! It is not information that they seek, but experiences that can touch their lives! It is not even enough to be role models, but teachers ought to be companions to share in the journey of students in their search for purpose for the study of medicine!
