Student Success Story

Dr. Ankitha S (2020-2022)

Choosing ASTER MIMS for my DNB radiology course was one of the finest decisions of my life both academically and personally. I am ever thankful and proud to be trained under the excellent guidance of Ramakrishnan sir (our HOD) and other respected faculties.
Academically, our department was outstanding with all new modalities, case load, hands on training and all the morning discussions. Our workstation became a second home with all the celebrations, cake cuttings creating memories and relieving the stress of the hectic PG life.
I owe my department for the confidence now I feel while working as a consultant radiologist. I am still missing my department, teachers and my co PGs even after one year of stepping out.
I would proudly recommend ASTER MIMS radiology department for anyone seeking my opinion for their DNB.

Dr. Sarika (2020-2022)

The decision to join MIMS to pursue DNB in Radio Diagnosis was one of the best decisions I ever made. At AIR 632 my other option being MD Radio Diagnosis in Surat medical College, I decided to join MIMS after spending a day at the department. As I reflect upon my journey, I can confidently say that my experience has been nothing short of transformative, and I am immensely thankful for the knowledge and skills I have gained. The faculty creates an inspiring environment for learning and is dedicated in imparting knowledge and providing guidance. They encourage critical thinking and problem solving abilities which helped me later at my work place. The well structured curriculum allows to explore various facets of the chosen speciality and you get enough hands on sessions which make sure that you emerge as a confident radiologist. There is definite emphasis on team work and collaboration which strengthen your ability to work as part of a team. The state of the art equipments, availability and access to recent advances in imaging ensure that you learn everything and stay updated. Beyond academic perspective the supportive environment in the department makes it a home away from home. Being part of a caring and vibrant community nurture your personal and professional growth. The impact created on my life is immeasurable and I am forever thankful to the department and Aster MIMS Calicut for that wonderful phase in my life.
