Immuno&Lympho+Tribe

Hello to all! My name is Dr. Sikder. I am 36 years old. I work at Asan Medical Center in Songpa, Seoul, Korea. I went to University of Maryland for medical school. I am very happy to take part in this version of Survivor MD because I think it’s invigorating and a great experience to gain. I have a passion for learning languages and have a good recall and recognition of almost everything I learn but I love learning from others all the time as well; it makes it easier when there is a wide range of knowledge within the tribe and teaching it would make ourselves and others better. The challenge was to accomplish learning the different types of specialties that people in the medical field can pursue. From what the team has observed, the majority of the one's researched were sub-specialties of internal medicine. There were some on surgery but every single specialty requires extensive studying and knowledge as well as skills to be certified. The process to become and doctor and practically specialize in any area of the medical field is arduous. There were no difficulties encountered during the challenge. Everything on the Google Form worked fine and was smooth sailing. The bios were created just fine as well as the the logo, though the logo had to be made by other means; it had to be drawn. The tribe worked out just fine. So, in the end there were really no issues except the making of the logo and an idea for it.
