After finishing my BSc in Neuroscience, I was a bit lost and noticed that my degree lacked practice and actual life skills; I had only gained theoretical knowledge. The MSc course at Imperial was interesting, top-rated and more importantly, gave me hands on experience.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What inspired you to pursue an MSc in Medical Ultrasound?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Medical Ultrasound is an amazing for diagnosis and pre-surgical planning. The amount of knowledge that can be acquired through one scan is baffling.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What have been the most valuable skills or knowledge you\u2019ve gained from the course?\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During my hands on work with the NHS, I had the amazing chance to connect with patients, speak to them and perform scans.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What is the most important thing you learned from Dr Mohammed Aslam, the course director?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I observed him work for a full shift, skipping his lunch hours just to make sure patients are not waiting for too long in the waiting room. He makes sure that each scan is thorough, precise, and all the requirements of a scan are met. His work ethic is amazing and should be learned from \u2013 no matter how tired he is, he gives 100% to patients and not only that, he is so dedicated to his students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Were there any particular modules, projects, or experiences that stood out to you?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One great thing was attending so many conferences during this degree. Talking to professionals and innovators in the field gave a real taste of the job and helped me in shaping my future career plans.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>How do you see this course influencing your future career or educational path?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I\u2019ve learned a lot, talked to a lot of people, and connected with NHLI community. I attended a workshop with Dr Barbara Casadei; it was amazing to have the opportunity to speak to her and learn about her plans.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What have you gained from your time at Imperial, professionally, academically, and personally?<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Learning a new skill in the medical field in 12 months sounded ridiculous, but I have realised that learning something new and developing new skills is achievable if you put in the work.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Has anything surprised you about the course or your time at Imperial?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I was surprised to see that a work-life balance was achievable. I never thought I could have a nine-to-five job, but it was not that bad! Studying and working also seemed farfetched, but I travelled to Europe and fun created memories alongside achieving my academic goals. I also led the Saudi Society at Imperial where me and my team held great activities and had a lot of fun doing so. I was very involved in my university experience, as well as doing great academically.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What advice would you give to future students considering this course?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Have fun, work hard and never be embarrassed to ask for help.

I re-founded it and took responsibility by hiring and leading a team. It was very stressful; however, it is such an amazing feeling to lead a group, and now I can still see it thriving!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What does being part of a diverse academic community mean to you?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s truly inspiring to see different age groups, different cultural backgrounds and academic backgrounds. I learned a lot by speaking and connecting with people. The variety of age groups was especially beneficial to me, as I have learned a lot from the older generation. They had great advice and wisdom.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What\u2019s next for you? Are there any exciting projects or opportunities you\u2019re currently working on or planning to pursue?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yes! I\u2019m working on a patent and founding my own health tech company. Working at the NHS, looking at patients and looking at the problems sparked an idea, although I regret not knowing about Imperial\u2019s great programmes which help start-up companies. So, I advise future students to make use of all resources that Imperial has to offer. I\u2019m doing great things and I\u2019m thankful to Imperial and the NHLI for the opportunity to tell more people about my experience and create connections. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Find out more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/study\/courses\/postgraduate-taught\/medical-ultrasound-vascular\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Medical Ultrasound<\/a> and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/nhli\/study\/postgraduate-taught\/\">MSc courses<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Learning a new skill in the medical field in 12 months sounded ridiculous, but it&#8217;s achievable if you put in the work.&#8221; Balancing academic study with networking and even running a university society, we speak to Shahd Najjar about her experience on Imperial&#8217;s Medical Ultrasound (Vascular) MSc.
