“I decided to expand my expertise beyond 20 years in the Medical Department and went into Artificial Intelligence, combining it with my medical and leadership background. Passion alone isn’t enough, so I went back to campus ….. Classes take place every other week, on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings. It’s an intensive study and research programme that demands most of my free time, but my curiosity continues to keep me motivated.”
