I AM A NEUROLOGIST AND A CLINICAL RESEARCHER with significant expertise in stroke prevention and treatment from both individual patient and public health perspectives. My broad-based clinical experience in the U.S. and Nepal includes work in trauma centers, comprehensive stroke centers, emergency rooms, acute care / ICU, inpatient, and outpatient settings. My background is ideally suited for positions in hospital administration, stroke centers, health operation and management; and health system management and public health consultancy.
MY CURRENT RESEARCH FOCUS explores an area with both a high volume of stroke patients and stroke outcome and risk factors related to stroke. I also collaborate in multi-centric U.S. and worldwide research trials. Past research has been published in peer-reviewed pediatric, neurology, and general medical journals.
I SUPERVISE AND INSTRUCT medical students and residents; received multiple commendations for teaching excellence.
MY BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT KNOWLEDGE includes expertise in Finance, Accounting, Business Leadership, Health care strategy and Data Modeling.
