I have a M.D. in Community Medicine from Nashik University India with more than 7 years of academic experience in Indian as well as the American curriculum. My research interests are adherence to therapy in chronic conditions and Behavioral science. I am looking for like-minded academicians and researchers to collaborate and conduct inspiring research and publications.

I love learning as much as I do teaching. I strongly believe that my job is not to make my students answer, but to make them ask better questions; as that is the essence of scientific enquiry. It has been said that “Those who can, do, those who can’t, teach”, but I would like to believe that I teach because it is wherein my heart lies.
