Life events changed my path and I completed my residency training in Neurology. During my residency, participating in an elective rotation in interventional pain management was instrumental in helping me find the path I chose to become a pain specialist physician. Ideally, I like to pursue treatment of pain from in a multidisciplinary fashion and I believe my training in Neurology and deep understanding of the nervous system will be an asset to me in this path. I am excited to join IPM to pursue my career as a pain medicine neurologist, and I will continue to participate in research to find even better ways to help our patients to have a better quality of life, despite the injuries and ailments causing them pain.
