About
I completed my MBBS from KMCollege, Warangal, Telangana State under the Dr NTR University of Health Sciences. As I wanted to be a teacher who could contribute to bring out the best of students for the future of medical community, I choose to be an Anatomist, so, I acquired my post-graduation Master’s Degree in Anatomy from OMC, Hyderabad, Telangana State.
I have further pursued my compulsory Senior Residency from GMC, Secunderabad, Telangana State and completed Senior Residency from AIIMS, New Delhi (on regular basis).
After Residency, I worked as Scientist B(Medical) at ICMR, Headquarters, New Delhi for 2 years and joined the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS, New Delhi, as Assistant Professor (contractual basis) for 3 years.
Presently I am working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy, HIMSR.
