What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth, values patient-centered care, and encourages collaboration within a dynamic healthcare team.

I am a compassionate and results-oriented Medical Officer with over three years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient care, complemented by five years as a Virtual Medical Assistant supporting U.S.-based healthcare providers. My expertise lies in diagnosing, managing, and treating a wide range of acute and chronic conditions using evidence-based protocols. I am committed to patient-centered care planning, clinical documentation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Currently, I lead the emergency and rapid response team at Avenue Hospital in Kisumu, where I manage patient admissions, emergency treatments, and referrals. I conduct comprehensive patient assessments and develop individualized treatment plans while ensuring adherence to evidence-based protocols. My role also involves guiding nursing staff and participating in multidisciplinary meetings, which enhances the quality of care provided to patients.

In addition to my clinical work, I have produced over 100 evidence-based medical articles and patient education materials as a Virtual Medical Assistant. My strong organizational skills and attention to detail enable me to work independently in fast-paced environments while maintaining compliance with HIPAA standards. I am dedicated to continuous professional development and maintaining the highest standards of medical ethics.
