Medical School: Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College
Residency: Rutgers Health/Monmouth Medical Center / Pediatrics
Why Geisinger: “Deciding on Geisinger for my sleep medicine fellowship felt less like a choice and more like the natural next step in my journey here in northeastern Pennsylvania. Having already practiced as a pediatrician in this community, I’ve developed a deep bond with the families here and a real-world understanding of the health challenges our neighbors face. Transitioning into sleep medicine at Geisinger is the perfect way to evolve my career while staying rooted in the region I call home. What really drew me in was the incredible breadth of the faculty; the chance to learn alongside experts in neurology, internal medicine and family medicine offers the kind of hands-on, well-rounded perspective I need to treat my patients effectively. As Geisinger continues to grow, I see so much potential not just for my own professional path, but for the impact I can make on the local community. I’m excited to join a program that is as committed to the people of NEPA as I am.”
