Education:
I have done MBBS, DGO and MBA. My educational journey has been shaped by a deliberate progression from foundational clinical training toward specialized women's health expertise, broadened further by public health exposure and healthcare leadership education.
I completed my Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) at Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), Nashik, between 2014 and 2020, building a comprehensive foundation across general medicine, surgery, and clinical sciences. This period included rigorous clinical rotations across departments, culminating in a strong grounding in diagnostic reasoning and patient management that continues to inform my practice today.
Following my MBBS, I chose to pursue rural public health work as a Medical Officer with SEARCH (Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health), Gadchiroli — one of India's most respected rural health research institutions. This experience, though not a formal academic credential, was profoundly educational: it exposed me to community-based healthcare delivery through mobile medical units serving roughly 60 villages, and taught me how social determinants of health, geography, and resource constraints shape clinical outcomes in ways no classroom can fully capture.
Driven by a growing interest in specializing in women's health, I pursued my Diploma in Gynaecology and Obstetrics (DGO) through the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) from 2022 to 2024. This residency program sharpened my clinical skills in antenatal and postnatal care, high-risk pregnancy management, family planning, and gynaecological procedures, while also deepening my commitment to patient-centered, evidence-based obstetric care.
Recognizing that women's health cannot be separated from mental health, I also completed a Certification in Psychiatry, reflecting my belief that emotional and psychological wellbeing are inseparable from reproductive and gynaecological care. This training has shaped how I approach patient counseling, particularly around issues like postpartum mental health, PCOS-related psychological distress, and the emotional dimensions of infertility and pregnancy loss.
Most recently, I undertook a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the Manipal Institute of Management, MAHE (2024–2026), to build competencies in healthcare leadership, operations, and systems thinking — skills I believe are essential for physicians who want to influence healthcare delivery beyond the individual patient encounter, whether through clinical administration, program design, or health communication.
Together, this educational path — clinical foundation, rural public health immersion, specialist obstetric training, mental health certification, and management education — reflects a consistent throughline: a commitment to healthcare that is clinically rigorous, psychologically informed, and systemically aware. I see each qualification not as a standalone credential but as a building block toward practicing medicine that treats the whole person within the whole system.
