Summary

I have completed my MBBS, MD from India and have worked there for few years as junior resident doctor. I have migrated to Australia recently and have cleared my AMC part 1 examination. I have experience in both clinical and research aspects and have also worked at field level in community as part of my postgraduate resident doctor training. Thus I have gained experience covering various dimensions of the medicine and would continue the same approach in the future also. I am looking for opportunities to work as an RMO to further advance in my medical career in Australia.

Gaps in Clinical Practice

About 1 year (October 2022 - Till Present)

I completed my MBBS and MD and was working in India, after which I got married and migrated to United Kingdom where my husband was working. I didn't take up any job there as my husband was planning to migrate Australia in about 5 months since he got job in Perth. Thus I started  preparing for AMC examinations planning to appear for it so that I could take up a job as soon as I reach Australia . But by the end of March I was diagnosed pregnant due to which I couldn't speed up with the process. By april we migrated to Australia and my husband took up the job in Perth. I took some time to adopt myself to the changes in pregnancy and despite all the challenges cleared my AMC MCQ exam successfully in September. Currently am pregnant meanwhile preparing for AMC part 2 examinations and will be available by early 2024 for taking up the job.
