Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | Karnataka Ayurveda Medical College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am someone who likes going beyond regular books, like actual field learnng hits diffrent right? I completed a certified Panchakarma course from DASS Foundation Dhule — that place really gave me a strong base in classical detox therapies. I also did a residential hands-on training in prameha (diabetes mgmt) which kinda reshaped how I look at metabolic disorders. There's a lot more to it than just sugar levels.
I keep trying to update myself, maybe bit obssesively Attended seminars on PCOD, PCOS, infertility, HTN & autoimmune conditions — each one kinda added a new lens. Every condition feels layered, and listening to others docs present real-time cases makes you see angles you might miss alone.
Also been part of CMEs across diff states n cities — not always flashy ones but the solid learning types. You meet practitioners who’ve dealt with stubborn cases in remote areas, and suddenly things make more sense than what we thought in UG classrooms. Still figuring a lot out but these steps feel like I’m on the right path, kinda messy sometimes, but totally worth it. |
Achievements: | I am really into keepin my knowledge fresh, not just theory but real stuff. Attended quite a few seminars on HTN, PCOD n PCOS, infertility & autoimmune diseases—those topics always felt layered n kinda challanging. I also went for CMEs in different cities & states... each one added new angle to how I approach things, especially complex chronic stuff. Feels good when u hear what others r doing n try applying that in ur own practice. Keeps u alert, keeps things moving. |
I am into clinical practice for around 1 year now and yeah it may sound short to some but honestly it's been a phase of non-stop learning. You think you’re prepared with all theory till real patients walk in with symptoms that don’t always match textbook stuff. That’s where I started digging deeper into prakriti analysis, daily lifestyle patterns, ahar-vihar habits, things that actually shape disease over time but don't always get noticed first. My focus mostly stays on understanding patient’s routine and mental space rather than just jumping on herbs or formulations straightaway. I believe you gotta know why a person fell sick before you fix anything. Even in small OPDs or follow-up calls, I’ve seen how small tweaks in diet or sleep cycles can shift health so much... I mean it’s not always about giving a new medicine. In this 1 year I managed to get some hands-on time with basic panchakarma too, mostly basti & nasya formats under supervision. That gave me more clarity on chronic cases like headaches or gut sluggishness where oral meds were just not enough. There were moments where I got stuck too, like when a patient didn’t respond or someone showed allergy to a decoction we usually trust. And yeah I made notes of all that, probably scribbled across pages but those cases kinda trained me in reverse—what not to overlook. I still mess up spellings in my own patient registers sometimes, but I never skip a follow-up. If I had to wrap it, I’d say I may be early in my journey but I’m fully into this now. Watching even tiny recovery signs after weeks of effort, that feeling stays. Maybe not everything is perfect yet, my plans still get adjustments midway, but I care. That’s something no books can teach you straight.
