At Siddaganga Medical College and Research Institute, I gained clinical exposure across General Medicine, Casualty, Cardiology, ICU, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, and Surgery. I participated in ward rounds and reviewed patient case sheets.

Under supervision, I reviewed prescriptions, dispensed medication, and counselled patients on disease management, medication adherence, and lifestyle modifications. I also identified medication errors and supported adverse drug reaction identification and reporting.

Through my Advanced Diploma in Clinical Research at BCRI, I trained in clinical research, clinical data management, pharmacovigilance, and basic regulatory affairs. My training covered GCP, informed consent, trial documentation, CRFs, EDC concepts, query management, and ICH guidelines.

For my academic research project, I evaluated inhalational techniques of dry powder inhalers in patients with obstructive pulmonary or airway disease. I’m interested in contributing to patient-centred care and pursuing opportunities in clinical research, pharmacovigilance, clinical data management, and regulatory affairs.
