Career plan
Chevening is looking for individuals who have a clear post-study career plan. Please outline your immediate plans upon returning home and your longer term career goals. You may wish to consider how these relate to what the UK government is doing in your country.
Upon completing my Master's in Medical Genetics and Genomics at the University of Glasgow, I have a clear vision for my immediate and long-term career in Indonesia's healthcare sector. In the short term, within the first 1-2 years after returning home, I plan to join a leading research institution or healthcare provider, such as the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) or a major hospital. My focus will be on developing and implementing genetic testing programs to address the rising cases of genetic disorders in Indonesia, particularly in light of the limited resources currently available for genetic diagnosis.
During this initial phase, I will leverage the advanced skills I acquire from my studies, including DNA isolation, PCR, and bioinformatics, to establish robust genetic diagnostic capabilities. I aim to collaborate with healthcare professionals to create comprehensive genetic testing protocols, enabling early and accurate diagnoses of hereditary diseases. This effort is vital for improving disease management and patient outcomes in Indonesia.
In the longer term, my goal is to establish a dedicated genetic diagnostics center in Indonesia within 5-7 years of my return. This center will focus on providing accessible and affordable genetic testing services to the community, addressing both common and rare genetic disorders. By developing partnerships with local healthcare providers and educational institutions, I plan to facilitate knowledge transfer and capacity-building initiatives that enhance the overall healthcare landscape in Indonesia.
Moreover, I aspire to integrate regenerative medicine into my long-term career plans. By participating in programs like Stem Cell Engineering for Regenerative Medicine, I will gain insights into cellular therapies that can complement genetic diagnostics and treatment strategies. In 7-10 years, I envision expanding the genetic diagnostics center to include regenerative medicine initiatives, focusing on tissue engineering and cellular therapies tailored to the unique healthcare needs of the Indonesian population.
Chevening is pivotal to achieving these aspirations. The scholarship will not only provide me with a world-class education but also facilitate the development of a professional network that includes experts and agencies involved in genetics and healthcare. I aim to connect with UK organizations such as the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the British Council, which are actively engaged in healthcare projects in Indonesia. By collaborating with these agencies, I hope to contribute to initiatives that enhance healthcare delivery through innovative genetic solutions.
Through the skills and network I develop during my studies, I plan to assist UK agencies in implementing sustainable healthcare projects in Indonesia. This could involve organizing training workshops that bring together UK experts and Indonesian healthcare professionals, ensuring the effective transfer of knowledge and best practices in genetic diagnostics and regenerative medicine.
In conclusion, my career plan is rooted in my commitment to improving healthcare in Indonesia through genetics and regenerative medicine. With a structured approach that delineates my immediate and long-term goals, I am confident that the Chevening scholarship will empower me to make a meaningful impact on Indonesia's healthcare system, particularly in advancing genetic diagnostics and expanding access to innovative medical solutions.
