Targeted Taught Postgraduate Fellowships Scheme Awardee
My journey with the MCNS programme has been exceptionally rewarding. I chose it for its strong clinical relevance to my work as an occupational therapist, particularly in managing patients with neurocognitive decline and complex comorbidities. The curriculum effectively bridges theory with clinical neuroscience, enriching my understanding and refining my formulation skills. The programme's experiential workshops and multidisciplinary discussions fostered critical thinking and practical application. The dedicated faculty created a highly engaging learning environment. Graduating from MCNS not only allowed me to pursue research aligned with my practice but also profoundly shaped my clinical approach and career aspirations.
My experience with MCNS has been a fruitful and exceptional journey, where I have gained much more than I expected at the outset.
Like many others, I chose the program because of my personal interest in neuroscience and its high relevance to my clinical practice as an Occupational Therapist. Working with patients with neurocognitive declines of co-morbid medical backgrounds, understanding their manifestations and managing their unpredictable behaviors have been daily challenges. The MCNS programme stands out with its curriculum focusing not only on theories but also on clinical neuroscience that is thoroughly applicable in my daily practice, allowing me to advance my clinical formulation with an evident basis and gain deeper insights.
While the learning process can be intensive, the teaching faculty has gone the extra mile to create an interactive and personal learning experience within a guided framework. I was particularly impressed by the series of experiential workshops where students were given valuable opportunities to discuss real case scenarios with experienced specialists. Focusing on self-reflection and multidisciplinary perspectives, seminars and assignments are designed to foster flexible yet critical thinking in applying the same set of knowledge to our own clinical practice.
Graduating from the MCNS programme, I was not only able to pursue my research interests and incorporate them into my clinical management, but the new perspectives I gained have truly been a milestone and inspiration in my career aspirations.
