What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster professional growth, collaboration, and innovation in psychiatric care.

I am a dedicated psychiatrist with four years of postgraduate training, currently serving as a Medical Officer. My expertise lies in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), forensic psychiatry, and psychiatric ICU management. I have a proven track record of conducting comprehensive psychiatric assessments and creating individualized treatment plans that significantly improve patient recovery outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have administered over 100 Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and ketamine treatments, achieving a 20% reduction in treatment-resistant depression cases. My leadership skills have been honed through leading multidisciplinary ward rounds and managing staff schedules, which have enhanced patient care and team collaboration. I am also passionate about education, having co-developed medical courses at Edubros.org, where I utilize my project management and IT skills to create valuable educational resources.
