What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a strong background in clinical medicine and research. I hold a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from California State University, Long Beach, and an MD degree from Tbilisi State Medical University. My experience includes working in high-pressure medical environments, including COVID-19 response and critical care, where I developed a passion for improving community health through evidence-based practices.
Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in clinical research, data analysis, and patient management. As a Research Assistant at the Healthy Balance Research Lab, I conducted data entry, sleep scoring, and assisted in developing community-based research studies. My role as a Junior Doctor in various departments has equipped me with the ability to manage patient care effectively, communicate treatment plans, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
