Throughout my career, I have successfully conducted over 1,000 interpretation sessions across multiple states, demonstrating my proficiency in medical terminology and my ability to exceed quality assurance metrics. My experience as a physician in emergency settings has equipped me with the ability to diagnose and treat complex cases while leading multidisciplinary teams to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
