Profile

I have strong commitment to a hospital - based career in nuclear medicine. My education as well as experienceas nuclear medicine physician has been varied from a private enterprise, government hospital, an academic set up to a corporate hospital. This has not only improved my knowledge about the subject but also made me confident in the matters of patient as well as public relations, hospital administration and radiation safety.

I have had experience in handling therapeutic nuclear medicine (I-131, P-32, Sr-89, Y-90-microspheres, etc.) at P. D. Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai, Radiation Medicine Center, Mumbai and Apollo Hospitals, Chennai. My exposure to PET and PET-CT atP. D. Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai, Radiation Medicine Center, Mumbai and Apollo Hospitals, Chennaihas updated me to the latest in this field including newer tracers like Ga-68-DOTATATE/NOC.

Now I am seeking a career as a complete Nuclear Medicine Physician wherein I shall get to practice nuclear medicine in its entirety (General nuclear medicine along with PET and nuclear medicine therapy in an academic set-up). I aim to shape up my career in a stimulating environment to achieve the best professional knowledge I can which will enable me to deliver the best medical care to the patients.
