Dr. Sundaram T G

I'm a budding rheumatologist and passionate clinician, with 5 years experience in the management of patients with autoimmune, rheumatic and inflammatory diseases; both adult and childhood. At SGPGIMS, Lucknow, I got the opportunity to train under some of the doyens of field, Prof. Ramnath Misra, Prof. Amita Aggarwal and Prof. Vikas Agarwal As a result of the robust training I received, I'm well versed in procedures like musculoskeletal USG, intra-articular aspirations and injections; and biopsy of skin, muscle and minor salivary gland. I have great interest in being an academician as well a physician scientist. Right from undergraduate days, I have strived for excellence, achieving a national rank of 113 in the MD entrance exam and all-india rank 3 in the DM entrance exam. I have cleared MRCP parts 1 and 2 and am waiting for an appointment for the PACES exam. It was always my ambition to explore new frontiers and learn at the best healthcare setups and that is why I’m applying for this position. If given an opportunity, I assure you that I would give my 100% in every possible way.
