What I'm looking for

I seek patient-facing or clinical research roles that leverage my homoeopathic training, clinical trial operations, and insurance-billing expertise in collaborative healthcare settings with growth opportunities.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Homoeopathic Medical Science and bring over six years of clinical and administrative experience across hospitals in Pune and international work experience in the UAE. I am certified Grade A in Medical Insurance Billing from Gulf Medical University, hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Trial Operations, and am authorized in Basic and Advanced Life Support by the American Heart Association.

I have worked as an assistant doctor, clinical research coordinator intern, and insurance advisor, handling patient history, informed consent, eligibility assessments, insurance coordination, preauthorisations, billing, and discharge processes. I combine patient-facing care with strong clinical-trial and insurance-billing expertise to streamline processes and improve patient outcomes.
