Theegshithee Anantharajah dreams to be an oncologist because cancer care and cure are areas wide open to exploration – perfect for young doctors-to-be such as she.
Having filled her teenage years watching adrenaline-pumping, mind-blowing crises being ably resolved in medical dramas on TV, Theegshithee observes the life-transforming effect of a doctor’s work.
“Every patient treated saves mankind. It’s not a job but a service.”
Currently in her third year on the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme at the Management and Science University (MSU) International Medical School (IMS) Shah Alam campus, the Sri Lankan lass had initially struggled to adapt to her new environment in Malaysia. She is thankful to have chosen MSU.
“I had done a lot of research to find the most suitable university for me. I discovered MSU at the college in Sri Lanka – Management and Science Institute (MSI). I really liked the ambiance of the place. Now that I’m here I find it easy to focus and work hard on my studies in such a great environment.”
Theegshithee believes that learning to balance your life and being consistent in your efforts are key to success. Like any other MBBS students, she has taken part in many mentoring activities including GPS Ramadan and the record-setting River Revival project by IMS. She was once a member of the MSU Volunteer Aid Detachment (VAD) Club and has also volunteered on the MSU Medic-Aid Support Squad (MASS).
“As MSUrians we are required to participate in many activities; among them mentoring and competency enrichment. This not only makes university life more interesting but also develops and fine-tunes our communication and organizational skills. My learning experiences at MSU train me to be not only a capable doctor equipped with theoretical knowledge and clinical skills but also a holistic, balanced, well-rounded person.”
In her second year on the MBBS programme, Theegshithee Anantharajah received the IMS Dean’s List Award, the MSU President’s List Award, and the Best Student Award. She thanks her IMS lecturers and mentors, “for their ever-welcoming open doors”, and credits her mother for inspiration.
“My mother is always making sure we gain in everything; academically, co-curricular, and life’s enjoyment. She taught us the best of human qualities and that kindness is what matters at the end of the day. The fact that she always puts others first is one of the qualities I love about her. I want to be as strong, as kind, and as loving; someone who can get past any hardships in life.”
To be a good doctor, Theegshithee also believes in seeing good, doing good, and teaching good as the words to live by in the life of a medical student. Practice makes perfect, she quotes; and whilst motivation and dedication will help you along, the willpower to achieve is equally important.
“I do miss my family a lot and sometimes I get terribly homesick, but I have been so blessed with an amazing group of friends who have become my Malaysian family – even their parents treat me like an own child. It makes me feel at home, and comfortable in my journey at MSU.”
