About
I am a Pediatric Resident Physician at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (NYC Health and Hospitals: Elmhurst).
I love working with children! I have 6 months of US Clinical Experience(Clerkships) in Pediatrics and am currently working in a pediatric outpatient setup. I fell in love with Pediatrics as a subject ever since my first rotation at med school, and here I am, aspiring to be a pediatrician, to cure little ones everywhere! I am passionate towards child healthcare and health equity, and I am actively seeking and pursuing opportunities to help me achieve my dream of being a pediatrician.
I enjoy working in academic research as well, and have a couple of publications in Pediatrics and Primary Care Medicine. I am currently working on a few more projects related to pediatrics and the COVID 19 pandemic.
I am the co-founder of "The Otto Research Initiative for IMGs", a non profit organisation that teaches and mentors International Medical Students and Graduates in basic research skill sets and projects.
I also founded the "KIMS Scientific Society", in my alma mater Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli, to encourage young medical students to step into the field of research.
I also volunteer with various NGOs and organisations like Rotary International and Red Cross to help and serve underprivileged children. I conduct menstrual hygiene talks for young girls to spread menstrual awareness, and free health camps for children of all ages, to ensure accessible health care for all.
I am currently functioning as the Head of Operations for "Rama Rao Charitable Trust", a non profit organisation which helps with free housing and educational opportunities for underprivileged students and children in Bangalore, India.
