What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters professional growth and collaboration within a dedicated radiology team.

I am a passionate radiology registrar with over 10 years of experience in public sector hospitals. My journey in radiology began with my registrar training at Wits University in Johannesburg, where I completed my medical research thesis. I have a strong commitment to excellence in my profession, which is reflected in my work ethic and dedication to patient care.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in diagnostic radiology, including reporting CT scans, X-rays, and mammograms, as well as performing ultrasound and fluoroscopy. I am currently preparing for the FRCR part 2 exam, having successfully completed FRCR part 1. I believe my skills and experience will significantly contribute to any radiology team I join.
