What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical or medical-review role in a dynamic healthcare team where I can apply clinical expertise, research and medical-writing skills, and project management to improve patient outcomes and regulatory compliance.

I am a medical doctor with 17 years of experience across clinical, administrative, and remote medical-review settings. I hold an M.Sc. in Public Health and maintain an active medical license in Nigeria.

I have worked as a medical officer in ophthalmology and general hospitals, supervising teams of up to 20 staff, performing diagnostic tests and assisting in minor surgeries, and providing comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care.

As a medical reviewer and medical writer I evaluate safety data from clinical trials, prepare Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs), protocols and post-market surveillance documents, and produce research proposals, grant submissions, and journal edits.

I am practice-focused, detail-oriented, and bilingual in English, Igbo, and Kinyarwanda; I bring experience with EHR systems, telemedicine, medical device regulation, insurance claims evaluation, and project management to improve patient outcomes and regulatory compliance.
