This is my first LinkedIn post.

My name is Dr Irene Chepngetich, a recent medical school graduate. I also just completed my medical officer internship program at PCEA Kikuyu Hospital.

Growing up in a small village in Litein, Rift Valley in Kenya, I always wanted to be in a field that would have an impact to the society.

Medical school is a high pressure environment and I always wondered if that was the kind of career I wanted to be in. But seeing patients smile after successful treatment always fills me with great joy. There is always the sad moments when you lose a patient, you never get used to it. That lingering feeling, wondering if there was something you could have done.

Overall though, I have enjoyed working in an environment where I take more responsibility for my patients, and interacting with them and their families. I have come to understand that being a doctor is not only a profession but also a calling that requires renewed passion each new day.

Even though I am now looking for new opportunities in various hospitals (very hectic process 😀), I look forward to a thrilling future in the medical field.
