What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an evidence-based clinical environment where I can deliver patient-centred care, strengthen my neurology knowledge, and contribute to research work. I want a place that supports continuous learning and USMLE-focused growth.

I’m a motivated and compassionate MBBS graduate with comprehensive clinical training across major specialties in a high-volume teaching hospital. I bring a strong academic record and a commitment to evidence-based medicine, lifelong learning, and patient-centred care.

I’ve gained hands-on procedural exposure through clinical electives and rotations, including history-taking, clinical examination, differential diagnosis, documentation, and emergency stabilisation. My neurology and research interests are reflected in my neurology elective exposure and a final-year project on meningitis risk factors in neonates with sepsis, analysed with SPSS and presented with a full academic report.
