Experience – 28 Years of experience working as anesthesia faculty in medical colleges
I joined Sri Ramachandra Medical College immediately after finishing my postgraduation from JIPMER in 1998. Since then, I have been working towards taking care of my patients and my residents. I am passionate about my clinical work and in ensuring quality and safety in the delivery of anesthesia care. I am equally passionate about teaching and believe in training residents according to national and international standards so that they become excellent anesthesiologists who are committed to the care of their patients. I have also been involved in administration of the operating rooms and have been a member and chair of various committees involved in accreditation, quality and safety in the organization and outside.
