As a Resource Person for Newly Admitted Medicos at Govt Medical College
I was honoured to be
invited as a resource person by Dr. Padma Sravani Sagi, Department of
Pharmacology, Government Medical College, Anantapur, to deliver a talk on "Moral
Values and Communication Skills" for newly admitted medical students. The
session, originally scheduled for 24th September 2026, was advanced to 16th
September 2026 and held from 11:00 AM to 12:00 Noon.
Over the course of the
hour, I engaged with the young medicos on a range of interconnected themes —
morals and ethics, the psychology of dual standards, split and multiple
personalities, and the often-overlooked subject of money management. Weaving
these topics together allowed the discussion to move beyond textbook
definitions of ethics into the real, everyday dilemmas that shape character and
professional conduct — dilemmas these future doctors will inevitably encounter
in their careers.
Interacting with a room
full of bright, curious minds at the very threshold of their medical journey
was, without exaggeration, one of the rarest privileges I have experienced.
There is something deeply gratifying about speaking to students at this formative
stage — before the pressures of clinical life set in — when values,
self-awareness, and financial discipline can still be nurtured as foundational
habits rather than afterthoughts.
I am grateful to Dr.
Padma Sravani Sagi and the Department of Pharmacology for this opportunity, and
I hope the session leaves the students with a few lasting reflections as they
begin their careers in medicine.
