Summary
Early career clinical endocrinologist. I have been in practice for less than 5 years. Working in an academic institution has really helped my clinical experience in terms of managing variable endocrine pathologies at different level of complexities alongside inpatient endocrinology experience. I am looking for a telemedicine opportunity that will give me a healthy work life balance. I want to build a clinical practice where I can provide quality care and manage wide range of endocrine disorders. My clinical experience has instilled in me the aptitude, desire and focus required for quality patient care.
