What I'm looking for

I seek clinical roles where I can gain hands-on patient care experience, grow my practical skills, work within collaborative teams, and contribute to high-quality, ethical healthcare delivery.

I am a recent medical graduate from Mekelle University committed to applying five years of medical education into high-quality clinical care. I bring hands-on experience from an 8-week medical internship and prior clinical support work as an assistant physiotherapist, plus strong clinical knowledge, technical skills, and a commitment to ethical practice.

I consistently rank academically and hold a certificate for high results in the Ethiopian Grade 12 national exam; I communicate fluently in English and Amharic and natively in Tigrigna. I am adaptable, collaborative, and motivated to strengthen my clinical and practical skills while supporting multidisciplinary teams in delivering patient-centered care.
