Relevant ​Experience

2021-2022

Medical Intern

Worcester Hospital

I had extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of ​common medical and surgical conditions, including emergencies, as well ​as paediatric, obstetric, and gynaecological conditions. I possess a basic ​knowledge of general psychiatry and had exposure to various ​subspecialties, making appropriate referrals as needed. My clinical skills ​included various procedures. Additionally, I was involved in the ​resuscitation and stabilization of unstable patients in the emergency ​room, with significant exposure to trauma cases. I also provided frontline ​health care during the Covid-19 pandemic, adapting to the challenges it ​presented.

2023

Medical Officer

Worcester Day Hospital (CDC), Breede Valley Subdistrict

I had extensive experience in general and emergency medical care, focusing on the diagnosis and management of undifferentiated patients and acute medical conditions in both adults and children. My work involved thorough assessments, appropriate investigations, and timely referrals to specialists for multiple conditions. I also managed chronic medical conditions, including hypertension and diabetes, while optimizing patient care through an understanding of referral pathways and multidisciplinary collaboration. My clinical involvement included focused clinics (for example ADHD clinic) and managing HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis care. Additionally, I performed minor surgical procedures, provided wound care support, and engaged in community outreach clinics. I actively participated in academic teaching and mentoring, contributed to leadership development, and prioritized holistic patient management. My commitment to cost-effective care and clinical governance drove my efforts to improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare delivery.

2024

Medical Officer

Private General Practitioner Locum

I formulated a consistent and comprehensive approach to ​undifferentiated symptoms. I diagnosed acute medical conditions ​frequently encountered at the primary health care level, including various ​ear, nose and throat conditions, respiratory illnesses, and abdominal ​conditions. I continued and optimized the management of chronic ​medical conditions, building on my experience at Worcester Community ​Day Centre while incorporating medications unavailable in the state ​sector.

I coordinated well-rounded patient care by collaborating with medical ​professionals across diverse clinical areas, utilizing referral pathways in ​both the private and public sectors. I performed 2-D ultrasounds, ​including obstetric dating scans and investigations for gynaecological ​complaints, along with minor clinical procedures such as cryotherapy and ​the removal of lumps and bumps. I administered intramuscular injections ​and managed acute trauma cases, including eye injuries and fractures, ​drawing on my experience from Worcester Hospital Emergency Centre ​and Worcester Day Hospital.
