What I'm looking for

I seek an early-career clinical role where I can continue hands-on patient care, emergency management, supervised procedures, and collaborative learning within a supportive team.

I am a graduate of the University of Nairobi (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) with hands-on clinical experience across Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, Surgery, Psychiatry, and Community & Public Health during my pre-internship rotations.

I performed patient clerking, physical examinations, basic and advanced clinical procedures, assisted in minor and major surgeries, participated in neonatal and maternal resuscitation, and contributed to ward rounds, mortality audits, and quality improvement initiatives.

I bring strong problem-solving, leadership, interpersonal and communication skills, and a commitment to ethical patient care. I am self-driven, a collaborative team player, and eager to continue developing clinical competence during internship and early medical practice.
