Professional Summary

As a board certified psychiatrist specialising in general adult psychiatry, I have been a member of the Adult Inpatient Unit at ECMC since 2005. The past three decades of my experience in psychiatry have been rewarding, exhilarating and mind-broadening for me. My participation in both international collaborative research projects and crossed cultural comparisons on psychiatry have been invigorating experiences that I always look forward to repeating when the occasion should arise. Clinical practice and teaching duties at the hospital and the university have reinforced my enthusiasm and dedication to this exciting field of psychiatry. I look forward to future developments and my involvement in this vibrant field of psychiatry.
