What I'm looking for

I’m interested in applying my clinical training and analytical reasoning to evaluating AI-generated health and medical content, with a focus on clinical accuracy, patient safety, appropriate use of clinical guidance, and identifying omissions or inappropriate generalisations.

My clinical training spans assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning across dental specialties, including Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, and Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics.

During my Rotatory Dental Internship, I gained exposure to patient care, routine dental procedures, counselling, and infection-control protocols. I also secured second rank in Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, and Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics.

I'm interested in evaluating AI-generated health and medical content for clinical accuracy and patient safety. I focus on patient-specific context, contraindications, omissions, and recommendations that may be unsupported or unsafe.
