51���app

Greetings from Team, 51���app! In July, we have reached certain exciting milestones that will immensely benefit all the LAU students and stakeholders. We also sat with our students who have qualified Medical Entrance Test (NEET) in 2019 and asked them to share their inspiring stories. Well, it’s been an amazing experience and we can’t wait to share those updates and stories with you. So, let’s dive right into it:

#1 Freedom of Health: Message From Vice-Chancellor

Hello, all students and LAU members!

August 01 —Date of Today— is a very remarkable date in the history of Guyana and other Caribbean countries that have been the British Colonies in the past. The day, celebrated as Emancipation Day, recalls the abolition of slavery way back in 1834.

It’s a day for us all to go back into history, remember the struggles our previous generations had to face to win freedom, and express gratitude for the freedom we enjoy today. Well, as they say, freedom comes with responsibility. So, Emancipation Day is also a day to re-affirm our commitment to give our individual as well as group contribution to maintain freedom and responsibility in all aspects of life.

As a community of doctors and medical aspirants, we all are entrusted with the responsibility to take charge of the healthcare of mankind and build a healthy world. Being healthy is one of the most liberating experiences in the world and by contributing our part thereto, we can build a world where everybody has the “Freedom of Health.”

On occasion of Emancipation Day, I ask you all to make the best use of the learning opportunities you have got at 51���app, come out as great doctors, and help us build a world with Freedom of Health for anyone and everyone.

Together, We Can.

Best wishes,
Air Marshal (Dr) Pawan Kapoor
Vice Chancellor, 51���app

#4 Our Student Atul Is Inspiring Millions!

Atul, an aspiring doctor from India, failed to qualify Medical Entrance Test in his 2018 attempt. In 2019, in just one year time, he has not only qualified NEET but has also completed the Pre-Medical Program along the way. His experience in his words:

“I wanted to go to one of the finest medical universities. So, I chose Pre-Medical from 51���app as it provides NEET coaching side-by-side, along with the Pre-Med Program. And students who don’t qualify NEET, they don’t need to worry here because the University provides side-by-side coaching. So, we can study both the Pre-Med Program as well as the NEET coaching, and we can qualify our NEET exam very easily.”

#5 Celebrating Festival of Medical Education

Thousands of students have been benefitted from our programs and tens of them have got a medical seat at LAU. Well, our next event might be in your country or your city.

#6 One Piece of Advice For NEET Aspirants

“If you have not qualified NEET, don’t feel depressed. Don’t think too much over it. Instead of waiting one year for NEET preparation, take admission in LAU, and it’s the best University,” said Swapnil, who failed to qualify NEET in 2018 and qualified NEET as well as Pre-Medical Program in 2019 at LAU. Story of Swapnil has already inspired 11K+ Students on YouTube and it can inspire you too.

#7 Happy Birthday, Dr. Torrington!

Dr. Torrington has been associated with LAU since its inception and has been an incredible bridge helping LAU Students walk the profound path of becoming doctors. We can’t thank him enough but we can wish him many many joyful returns of the special day; his Birthday!

#8 How To Get More Done In A Day?

“Divide your curriculum into different topics and fix certain topics for the day to study and revise. Note down your weak and strong points, and at the end of the day, must revise what you have read through the entire day,” advised Nivesh, who has qualified Medical Entrance Test in 2019 along with Pre-Medical Program. How he got it all done in one year? To know, checkout Nivesh’s story.

#9 What Makes A Great Doctor?

There are millions of doctors. They all get a quality education. They all get hands-on clinical training. And they all treasure experience every single day. Then, what’s the one quality that makes a doctor great. Is it education? Is it training? Is it experience? Well, these all qualities are important. However, all these qualities are ineffective without one quality and that quality is “Empathy.”

More than medicine, more than clinical care, what patients need for a quick recovery is empathy from those who are involved in their treatment. Empathy is what makes the difference, and empathy is what makes a great doctor. So, no matter what, treat people as well as patients with empathy and you will definitely be a great doctor and a great human being.

#10 Time To Have Some Laugh

Doctor to patient: Why you haven’t paid my bill?

Patient to doctor: You told me to avoid any unnecessary stress. That’s why I didn’t care to open any of your bills!
