Summary

I am an international medical graduate from India, holding a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree, which I completed in 2019. Relocated to New Zealand in 2020 and earned Master's in Health Information Management with merit from the University of Canterbury. I have two years of experience working with a health tech start-up, where I contributed to innovations at the intersection of healthcare and technology. Following this, I worked as a healthcare assistant at a GP practice in Hamilton, gaining hands on clinical experience in the New Zealand healthcare system. I successfully cleared the PLAB 1 exam,a key step toward obtaining medical registration in New Zealand and I am currently preparing for the clinical exam to achieve medical license.
