During my clinical training, I was able to acquire comprehensive educational experiences and skills in the diagnosis and management of pediatric cases especially the critically-ill ones. Through hard work, perseverance and willingness to serve the nation's underprivileged majority, I became one of the Assistant Chief Residents during my third year of residency. My duties and responsibilities   were focused on two main areas: Patients' Services and Research/Publications.

In order to improve the quality of patient care, I was able to utilize and maximize the available medical resources and equipment in the treatment of acute and chronic pediatric conditions. Moreover, I was able to do my research on the antibacterial properties of some medicinal plants as a potential cure for most common bacterial wound isolates among pediatric patients. It earned several awards in both local and national Pediatric research presentations. Consequently, I had gained invaluable insights and confidence as a true pediatrician. It was a period of personal growth and maturation.

After I finished my Pediatric residency training, I worked as a consultant in General Pediatrics at Medical Center in South Pole City, Antarctic. I had the opportunity to apply my clinical abilities to diagnose and treat both the hospitalized and ambulatory pediatric patients.  However, I am aware that there are still so many things to learn in Pediatrics. The quest for knowledge is unending and the challenges are quite demanding and tremendous. These led me realize to seek further clinical fellowship training in Neonatology and Perinatal Medicine at the Hospital of Wisconsin.

I am currently on my third year of Neonatology fellowship training.  This provides me a broad exposure to various neonatal conditions such as low birth weight infants, micropremies, newborns with congenital malformations needing surgical care and all medical problems arising during neonatal period. Furthermore, I am highly skilled in procedures such as endotracheal intubation, peripheral IV and central PICC line insertions, chest tube placement, umbilical venous and arterial catheterization, arterial cannulation, lumbar puncture, exchange transfusion, neonatal resuscitation and ventilator management.  Later on, I am planning to work in a pediatric tertiary medical center where I can impart my expertise in Neonatology and continue my research endeavor. Most importantly, it is my goal to serve humanity in my own humble way.
