Dr. Yashwanth Kathiresan

Dedicated medical professional with a solid foundation in surgery and general medicine, backed by one year of experience as a Duty Doctor in Chennai. Demonstrated expertise in managing diverse medical conditions and emergencies, complemented by clinical attachments in the UK that enhanced surgical knowledge and patient care approaches. Proven ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams in the NHS, focusing on patient management and quality care. Committed to leveraging international experience to drive improvements in healthcare standards and patient outcomes in the local community.

Throughout my medical career, I have honed strong management and leadership skills. As a member of the Student Council, Social Secretary, and captain of my college hockey team, I developed my ability to manage teams, coordinate tasks, and make critical decisions in high-pressure situations. I led successful community outreach initiatives, including free medical camps, and managed budgets, fostering effective communication and logistical planning. These experiences have equipped me with the skills to coordinate healthcare services and contribute meaningfully to the efficient delivery of medical care

Teamwork has been a cornerstone of my professional development, from collaborating with senior colleagues in clinical settings to working as part of a multidisciplinary team during my internship; I have learned the importance of clear communication and cooperation. Leadership roles in sports, such as hockey and cricket, further honed my ability to work as part of a team, making me well-equipped to collaborate in any clinical setting Coordinating COVID-19 vaccination camps and healthcare initiatives allowed me to experience the value of teamwork in providing optimal patient care
