National Exchange Officer (outgoing)

Salma Ghafoor

neo.outgoing@studentsforglobalhealth.org

Hey, I’m Salma and I’m your national exchange officer, alongside Gemma who will primarily be dealing with incoming students whereas I’ll be managing outgoing students. 

I’ve always been passionate about global health largely because of my Kashmiri roots and I am super excited to be involved with SfGH on a national (and international) level! My personal interests lie in psychiatry and racial inequalities in health, so I look forward to working on the national working group. I’m particularly interested in widening outreach for exchanges and making them accessible to students from all backgrounds. 

I’m a Sheffield medic, just about to intercalate at Barts this year so looking forward to the year ahead and ready to face any more challenges COVID may bring for exchanges.
