From 2016 to 2017

During my tenure at GMC, Miraj, I was actively involved in a diverse range of surgical procedures, including trauma, arthroscopy, and joint replacement surgeries. Additionally, I played a crucial role in evaluating patients at the deformity clinic, ensuring compliance with government regulations and issuing certificates accordingly. As part of my responsibilities, I supervised and provided guidance to medical students throughout their undergraduate training. Our work at GMC involved handling a substantial caseload, with an average of over 30 new cases per week, primarily focused on upper and lower limb trauma cases. This experience provided me with extensive hands-on experience, strengthened my clinical acumen, and allowed me to contribute significantly to patient care and medical education.

From 2018 To 2019

I played a key role in the hospital, supporting surgeries for spine patients and overseeing their post-operative care in the ward. Our workload typically consisted of 20 to 30 cases monthly, predominantly involving procedures like Microdiscectomy, PLIF, and Laminectomy. Additionally, we encountered a significant number of cases related to Deformity correction, Potts Spine, Intra and ExtraDural Tumors, contributing to a well-rounded experience in spinal healthcare.

From 2019 To 2020

During my one-year fellowship under the guidance of Dr. Rajesh Parasnis at Oyster and Pearl Hospital in Pune, I successfully completed a variety of surgeries, such as MISS TLIF, MISS Decompression, ACDF, posterior cervical, Adult Spine deformity surgeries, among others. On average, we handled approximately 45-50 cases per month, with an additional 3-4 scoliosis cases operated on monthly as well.

From 2020- 2021

During my time at YCM Hospital, my responsibilities shifted due to the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic. While I was away from orthopedic work, I was actively involved in treating a wide range of patients across various medical conditions. This included providing care, managing treatments, and supporting recovery efforts for individuals affected by COVID-19 and other health issues. Despite the change in focus, I remained dedicated to delivering high-quality healthcare and supporting patients during this challenging time. My experience at YCM Hospital underscored the importance of adaptability and teamwork in providing comprehensive medical care to those in need.

From 2021- 2022

Working alongside Dr. KV Menon was a transformative experience that significantly impacted both my personal and professional life.
