Boot Camp Transformation Series: Measuring and Embracing Change Abroad

Hello all,

Let me first confirm the pictures in the blog have been picked up from canva :)

Life's most significant transformations often happen gradually, almost imperceptibly. Yet, they leave a mark on who we become. My decision to move to the United Kingdom was more than just a relocation; it was my personal boot camp in the University of Life. I realized that change is challenging to appreciate unless it's measured, and thus, I embarked on a journey to document the little things that would make my experience worthwhile. Welcome to the Boot Camp Transformation (BCT) Series, where I share my story of measuring and embracing change over the course of stay in the UK.

When I set out on this adventure, I had no idea what lay ahead. Just an opportunity to grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, and culturally. I decided to chronicle this transformation through the BCT Series, a collection of observations, lessons, and moments that would serve as benchmarks for my personal growth.

1. Cultural Encounters: One of the most remarkable aspects of my time will be my interactions with individuals from different backgrounds, learning about their customs, traditions, and worldviews. These encounters have broadened my horizons and fostered a deeper understanding of the world's diversity.

2. Reflections: Every day, I take a few moments to reflect on my experiences, challenges, and triumphs. These reflections serve as snapshots of my emotional and mental state.

3. Financial Milestones: Managing finances in a foreign country can be a steep learning curve. BCT Series includes insights into my financial journey, from budgeting to making wise investments. Tracking these milestones helps me measure my growth in financial literacy.

4. Physical Progress: It would be incredible to see how small, consistent changes have translated into improved physical well-being.

5. Interpersonal Connections: Building relationships with people from diverse backgrounds has been a highlight of my time in the UK. I've documented the challenges and successes in connecting with others, which have helped me refine my communication and interpersonal skills.

Even the subtle changes in our lives can lead to remarkable transformations over time. After all, personal growth is a lifelong journey, and I'm excited to see where it leads.

Appreciating change

So far So much

The MRCEM OSCE exam is an integral part of the qualification which tests the clinical and communication skills of candidates. For Indian students pursuing this qualification, preparing for the MRCEM OSCE exam may seem daunting. However, with a few tips that helped me sail through fine.

" Consulting a psychiatrist would be a question mark on my spirituality " Said the patient.

Hello everybody I hope everybody is safe and healthy. it's been a while that I've been receiving lot of patients in the emergency with mental illness ,thought of sharing an incident of its kind. Not sure if its the awareness of mental health these days or the pandemic, I am developing keen interest in patients with mental illness .I try to take an extra effort to make them feel comfortable and try to create an insight of what is happening and offer them options of what all can be done. Since this it seems like a step towards patient care , I thought I'd share it here as well. This would probably not be the best approach but I welcome any type of constructive criticism , additions or subtraction to my approach because end of the day we are here for best patient care.
