What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters health equity and allows for impactful community engagement.

I am a dedicated Family Medicine physician currently completing my residency, with a strong foundation in nursing and extensive clinical experience. My journey in healthcare has been driven by a commitment to health equity and a passion for innovative digital health solutions. As the CEO of Ethiopian Kidney Care, I lead initiatives that advocate for chronic kidney disease patients, focusing on nutrition and education to empower communities.

Throughout my clinical experience, I have managed diverse patient populations, from performing critical procedures to leading quality improvement projects. My roles have included managing dialysis patients, supervising healthcare teams, and developing treatment protocols that enhance patient care. I believe in the power of community engagement and education to improve health outcomes, and I actively participate in initiatives that promote preventive medicine and health advocacy.

With a background in both medicine and nursing, I bring a holistic approach to patient care, emphasizing comprehensive treatment plans that address both physical and emotional health. I am eager to continue my journey in a role that allows me to leverage my skills in leadership, patient-centered care, and community outreach.
