Education Beyond Textbooks: A Visit to Tata Manipal Medical College

“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” This quote closely captures the spirit of learning beyond the classroom. True education transcends textbooks, engaging all senses and fostering a deeper understanding of the world. In this vein, students of Little Flower School had a remarkable opportunity to explore their aspirations and expand their horizons.

On November 19, 2024, 30 biology stream students, accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. Ranita Karmakar, embarked on an enriching visit to Tata Manipal Medical College. The two-and-a-half-hour session provided a glimpse into the life and work of future medical professionals, offering a firsthand experience of the academic and clinical environment they aspire to join in two years.

During the visit, students were guided through various departments, witnessing advanced laboratories, simulation centers, and research facilities. They gained valuable insights into the study of human anatomy, from pre-clinical learning to hands-on patient care, guided by experienced professors and doctors. The cooperative and welcoming approach of Dr. Vijay Kautilya and his team ensured the visit was both meaningful and inspiring.

The session also included an engaging career counselling segment, where students learned about diverse career paths for biology enthusiasts. Apart from pursuing MBBS, they explored fields such as clinical psychology, optometry, radiology, forensic sciences, and cardiovascular technology, broadening their perspective on potential futures.

This visit was not just a glimpse into academic possibilities but also an eye-opener for students, encouraging them to envision and work towards a fulfilling career in the life sciences. Experiences like these truly demonstrate that learning comes alive when we step outside the classroom.

A voice that can soothe or inspire or delight

Is that of a Mother – always giving, always caring, always loving.
