  • Area of Specialization: Cardiology
  • Department of Medicine

  • Leadership and mentorship within my circle of influence are critical goals for me as a teacher, researcher and clinician. I hope to bring about positive change in the field of Medicine in general, and Cardiology in particular, by blending professional will and personal humility. As a leader, I strive to be up-to-date with and contribute positively to the rapidly evolving cardiovascular medicine trends. I do not set out to necessarily break new grounds but to build a team that adapts and applies global best practices to local practice through evidence-based research. Continued improvement of my organisational skills and excellent interpersonal relationships with my students, colleagues and patients are of utmost importance to me.
