Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
I am a Clinical Pharmacy faculty member with a strong academic and research focus on oncology-oriented clinical pharmacy, pharmacovigilance, and evidence-based therapeutics. I am passionate about simplifying complex medical concepts and translating clinical knowledge into meaningful learning experiences for pharmacy students. With hands-on experience in teaching, internship training, and student mentorship, I am actively involved in guiding students in their research and clinical skill development. My teaching approach emphasizes clinical reasoning, guideline-based decision-making, patient safety, rational pharmacotherapy, and practical exposure to prescription audit, insulin audit, antibiotic stewardship programs, drug interaction assessment, and medication error identification. I mentor students in clinical case analysis, adverse drug reaction (ADR) identification and reporting, medication review, therapeutic drug monitoring, prescription auditing, insulin use evaluation, antimicrobial stewardship activities, drug–drug interaction analysis, and medication error reporting, preparing them for real-world clinical and hospital settings. I am particularly interested in research-driven teaching and mentoring students in case reports, observational studies, literature reviews, and guideline-based research, with the goal of strengthening clinical pharmacy practice, patient safety, and the rational use of medicines. I welcome opportunities for academic collaboration, oncology-focused research, and interdisciplinary learning in pharmacy education and healthcare.
