Bio
I completed my MBBS at the esteemed Madurai Medical College (2013–2018), one of Tamil Nadu’s most respected institutions for medical training. I then pursued my MD in Radiation Oncology at the prestigious Cancer Institute (WIA), Adyar, a regional leader in cancer research and treatment. My training emphasized a blend of evidence-based medicine, advanced technological expertise, and a holistic, patient-centered approach.
In 2023, I was honored as the Best Outgoing Student at the Cancer Institute (WIA)—a recognition of my academic excellence, clinical acumen, and steadfast commitment to patient care. I have also been certified in the Essentials of Palliative Care (September 2021)[Certificate Course in Essentials of Palliative Care (CCEPC) – Indian Association of Palliative Care (IAPC)], further strengthening my ability to provide comprehensive, empathetic support to patients across all stages of cancer treatment. Certificate Course in Biomedical Research – ICMR-NIE & NPTEL/SWAYAM, December 2022.
