That was the mind-set of the 26 students who attended the Career Connect 鈥 Medicine event in College on Tuesday 17 April.
They had come to hear from four Trinity alumni who are currently working in very difference areas of Medicine 鈥 Urology, Rheumatology, General Practice and Obstetrics, and Gynaecology.
Their paths since College have varied and 3rd year Bio-medicine and Residential College student, Tansy Pereira, says it was really interesting to hear about their differing pathways
