 I am very passionate about implementing various imaging modalities for the best patient care. I strive to deliver the best Radiology services working closely with my clinical colleagues and multidisciplinary teams. I strongly believe that the ultimate goal of delivering the standard of patient care can be attained only with close communication within all the segments in the health care team. My second core professional value is teaching and educating young doctors, including medical students, residents and fellows. I am deeply invested in their medical education and am constantly learning from this experience to improve my teaching abilities. B.
