III. Work Experience:

1. Compulsory rotating internship of 1 year(2007 to 2008 ) duration in various branches

of medicine and surgery ( Housemanship) including 3 months posting in rural health
centre. (This is equivqlent to House officers Job in UK). During this time I learned
many simple procedures like Cardiopulmonary Resuscitaion, Pleural tap, Abdominal
paracentesis, venesection, putting long lines, presenting cases briefly and succinctly
to consultantants. Counselling patients relatives during their bereavements, I also
learnt during this period on the art of motivating family members of a patient who is
brain dead, to come ahead with the proposal of organ donation. My 3 months rural
posting in rural Maharashtra gave me a birds eye view of the nature of diseases that
rural Indian population face . I learned management of cases with venomous snake
bites, Scorpion bites , organophosphorous poisoning , management of various
haemoglobinopathies , malnutrition , malaria both P .vivax and P. infection . I also
learned elements of practical epidemiology from this rural posting.

2. Hands-on workshop on Advanced Cardiac Life Support.

3. Took active participation in various CMEs.

4. National Conference on Rural Health 5-7 Dec 2002( I was an active member of the
organizing Committee ). This conference taught me how to organize big medical
conferences.

5. Worked in National Institute of ImmunoHaematology(NIIH) as an observer to

understand how medical research is carried out From March 2008 -Jan 2009. Here I
took part in some haematological research and understood the art of research paper
writing and review article writing. This programme was useful in making me
understand how to read an article critically and how to formulate research question
after reviewing the subjects. During this period I also took part in regular Ward rounds
for various haematological patients. My subsequent publications will bear testimony to
my training during this period.
 6. Worked as resident in Cardiology in PD Hinduja hospital , Mumbai , India for 3
months in 2009.( here I observed and helped my teacher in cardiac catheterisation,
coronary angiography, taking history and clinically examining patients with
cardiovascular disorders, controlling anticoagulation and preparing patients for
coronary angioplasty and managing acute coronary syndromes and acute myocardial
infection in a tertiary care hospital

7. Worked as resident doctor in the dept. of Biochemistry of Indira Gandhi Govt. Medical
College, Nagpur (July 2010 to July 2013): During which worked in the Clinical
Laboratory and taught Biochemistry to undergraduate students (MBBS). Details of
my work during this phase of my career is already recorded above. Working as a
“ Casualty Medical officer” from July 2013 (Trauma & Emergency Medicine)/ Resident
Medical officer ( RMO ) in St. George Hospital, Mumbai.( In this job which will finish
after 364 days work in August 2014 , I handled all acute medical and surgical
emergencies including road traffic accidents during this period and was also directly
involved with both forensic and pathological autopsies of 15 cases. As RMO I became
immediate senior to casualty medical officer and was also involved in their training for
management of various cases and taught them how to triage patients in a busy
accident and emergency department. The hospital is situated in the heart of Mumbai
and daily flow of patients through accident and Emergency department stands
between 100-150.Finally I was given the charge of thalassaemia care centre where I
was managing 142 transfusion dependent thlassaemia major patients.
