What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to contribute to public health initiatives and improve community health outcomes.

I am a dedicated dental surgeon with seven years of clinical practice experience and a master's degree in public health. My commitment to advancing oral and general health care is evident through my expertise in clinical practice, health promotion, and population health strategies. I am passionate about leveraging my clinical expertise and public health knowledge to improve access to quality dental and overall health services.

Currently, I am a Junior Resident at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, where I am actively involved in oral and maxillofacial surgery. My experience includes performing a wide range of dental surgeries, conducting patient assessments, and participating in clinical rotations. I have also served as a Dental Officer at the Federal Medical Centre, where I provided comprehensive dental services and educated patients on preventive care. My leadership roles and awards during my education reflect my dedication to the field and my ability to contribute positively to any health organization.
