What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to further develop my oncology expertise while contributing to patient care and medical education.

I am a dedicated clinical oncologist with a strong background in radiation oncology, currently serving as a senior consultant oncologist and assistant professor at Bahir Dar University. My journey in medicine began at Addis Ababa University, where I developed a passion for oncology during my residency. I have a proven track record of working effectively in high patient flow areas, demonstrating my ability to deliver quality care even in resource-limited settings.

Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in multidisciplinary teams, focusing on head and neck, breast, and colorectal cancers. My fellowship at Korlebu Teaching Hospital in Ghana further honed my skills in evaluating, treating, and following oncology patients. I take pride in mentoring medical students and residents, sharing my knowledge and experiences to foster the next generation of healthcare professionals.
