Advancing Fertility Care Through Flexible Learning: Rajan Shah’s Journey

Rajan Shah, a dedicated gynaecologist from Kathmandu, Nepal, recently celebrated his graduation in Sexual and Reproductive Medicine with Learna | Diploma MSc. Balancing a demanding 12 to 14-hour workday while pursuing further education, Rajan found Learna’s flexible online platform to be the ideal solution for his professional growth.

Rajan said: "In the field of fertility, there was still so much more to learn," Rajan shared. "Attending physical classes wasn’t practical, but this course allowed me to continue working while expanding my expertise. Over the past year, the programme has significantly enhanced my skills."

Applying the knowledge from his studies has transformed Rajan’s approach to patient care. As the owner of an IVF center, he often faced complex cases with lingering doubts. "Through this course, I learned how professionals worldwide handle similar cases, including legal aspects that are sometimes overlooked in developing countries. The case studies and discussions have refined my practice, and I apply what I’ve learned every day."

The programme’s rigorous structure required commitment, but Rajan was determined.

"I dedicated at least 20 hours per week to my studies, balancing coursework, assignments, and discussions. Managing time effectively was challenging, but I made it work by utilising my weekends and any free moments between professional duties."

Throughout his journey, the support network was invaluable. "Beyond the Student Support Service, my colleagues played a crucial role. We formed study groups and regularly discussed cases. The academic support and guidance from tutors were exceptional—they were always there to help, even if I had to step away for a short time."

Reflecting on his experience, Rajan highly recommends Learna to fellow professionals seeking further education without compromising their careers.

"For someone as busy as me, this platform was the best way to gain knowledge while continuing my work. It allowed me to learn without leaving my family or job, and it was financially practical. Everything about Learna fit perfectly into my schedule and helped me grow both academically and professionally."

Rajan’s journey stands as a testament to the power of flexible learning, proving that dedication and the right educational platform can pave the way for excellence in patient care.
