My experience in medicine has been an journey. I developed by profound interest in medicine due to my father, a cardiologist.
During my internship in the USA and in India, I noticed how orthopedic techniques and implant technologies improved the basic daily activities of patients and alleviated their suffering. This compelled me to choose orthopedic surgery as my career.
Limb salvage surgery has become a standard practice without compromising the oncological and clinical outcome. The multi disciplinary approach and advancement of surgeries are important to achieve patient survival and optimum function.
Henceforth, I embarked on this lifelong journey by joining an Orthopedic Oncology and Joint Reconstruction fellowship program with Prof. Faisham in Malaysia. Due to my seamless interest in joint reconstruction surgery I had a privilege to get trained by Prof. John Timperley from Exeter, England.
In my journey, I advanced myself to next level of training at the University of Zurich, Switzerland with Prot. Bruno Fuchs and at Careggi University, Italy with Prof. Domenico Campanacci. Here I learned the most recent advancements in the field of Orthopaedics, Musculoskeletal oncology and joint reconstruction surgery.
As musculoskeletal oncology comprises the 3 maior disciplines of orthopedic surgery namely Osteosynthesis, Arthroplasty and Reconstructive surgery, it also would prepare me to handle any orthopedic condition that is beyond the scope of musculoskeletal oncology.
I am confident that I have the motivation, perseverance, and depth of knowledge required to pursue my journey in Orthopaedic surgery with utter passion and dedication.
