I underwent undergraduate training from JSS Medical College, RGUHS (2007-2013). I enrolled into Anaesthesia residency in 2014 at Yenepoya Medical College, Mangalore. Following her MD in 2017, I have been working as a Senior Resident at JSS Medical College Hospital. My long term goals includes implementing structured protocols and multidisciplinary approach for a holistic perioperative management. I enjoy teaching the postgraduates.
I recently undertook a two and half years international fellowship programme in Anaesthesiology and Intensive care in the United Kingdom where I had the opportunity to advance my academic and clinical career and work in a tertiary care trauma and transplant centre, tertiary care obstetric centre. I gained experience in trauma and hepatobiliary anaesthesia including dedicated time in liver transplant as well as critical care and enhanced perioperative care and ERAS pathways. I was also successful in achieving European Diploma in Anaesthesia and Intensive care and the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists.
During my time in the National Health Services, UK, I gained insight into a different healthcare system, the importance of accountability, critical incident reporting, Audits, Quality Improvement projects and multidisciplinary team management.
