0000-0003-4824-3346 About
I completed my post-graduation in psychiatry (MD), in the year 2012 from AIIMS, Delhi, India. I developed an interest in Addiction Medicine 10 years back during my clinical work in addiction and was especially inspired by patients who had dramatic improvement after taking opioid agonist maintenance treatment. Currently am working as an Associate Professor and faculty at National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), AIIMS, Delhi, and have certification in Addiction Medicine by ISAM. I have been embraced as a fellow of ISAM in the year 2019. My specific areas of interest are addictive behaviors in adolescents and youth. I aspire to improve the outreach of addiction medicine training and research globally and particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, swimming, running marathons, and learning about different cultures and people.
