What I'm looking for

I seek clinical roles delivering comprehensive, patient-centered acute and chronic care in collaborative settings that support procedures, training, quality improvement, and research opportunities.

I am a medically trained MD with completed USMLE Step 1, 2 CK/CS and 3, ECFMG certification, and a Diploma in Pediatric Medicine in progress. I trained at Caribbean Medical University and completed core clerkships and elective rotations across multiple specialties.

I have worked clinically across Trinidad and Tobago as a General Practitioner, Medical Doctor, and Phlebotomy Consultant, managing acute and chronic conditions, stabilizing emergency cases, performing minor procedures, and coordinating interdisciplinary care. I developed national competency occupational standards for phlebotomy and audited training programs to improve quality assurance.

I contribute to peer-reviewed research, practice evidence-based medicine, and hold BLS/PALS/ACLS certifications. I prioritize patient-centered communication, team collaboration, and teaching, and I seek roles that allow me to combine clinical practice, procedural work, training, and quality improvement.
