Rukhsar Khan,MD

Compassionate and inquisitive medical graduate with almost 2 years of US clinical experience and a strong foundation in patient-centered care. I am deeply interested in the intersection between research and clinical practice, and how data-driven insights can lead to improved health outcomes. My goal is to actively contribute to a research team where I can apply my analytical thinking, attention to detail, and commitment to lifelong learning, while also growing my skills in study design, data interpretation, and academic collaboration.
