OKECHUKWU AJOGWU
@okechukwuajogwu
Licensed physician transitioning into medical virtual assistance and healthcare data annotation to deliver accurate, secure care support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a licensed medical doctor (MBBS) with clinical internship experience at National Hospital Abuja, rotating through Internal Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, and Obstetrics & Gynaecology. During my internship, I managed patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning under supervision, while maintaining accurate, detailed clinical documentation like patient charts, discharge summaries, and referral letters.
I bring an entrepreneurial and operational mindset from founding Eliceed Health and co-founding Pivot Strategies Limited. I’ve led early-stage operations, product strategy, market research, and client-facing strategy consulting—plus operational leadership as a part-time Director of Operations and experience mentoring entrepreneurs as a judge on a televised reality show.
Right now, I’m transitioning into remote healthcare support roles and building job-ready skills through structured coursework and hands-on practice. I’m developing expertise in EMR/EHR navigation (practising on OpenEMR), medical scheduling/documentation workflows, HIPAA compliance fundamentals, and AI-assisted healthcare data annotation (including clinical text review and ICD-10/SNOMED familiarity), while also sharpening medical writing for patient education, health articles, and clinical summaries.
