Incoming Residents

I was born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan, where I grew up in an agricultural family. I earned my medical degree from Nishtar Medical University, and afterward, I served my hometown as a primary care provider. During this time, I developed a strong passion for Family Medicine, recognizing its crucial role in providing comprehensive care.

I was drawn to the robust inpatient training that builds a foundation for quality outpatient care, along with the unique blend of academic and community clinical experiences. The program’s emphasis on fostering relationships among residents, faculty, and the broader community resonated with me.

My interests include full-spectrum family medicine, inpatient care, sports medicine, and expanding access to healthcare in underserved global communities. I am eager to develop my skills as a comprehensive family physician over the next three years and beyond. Additionally, I look forward to exploring the rich culture, diverse cuisine, and natural beauty that New Mexico and its surroundings have to offer.

I was born and raised in Nepal, a country known for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, where I completed my medical school. My career has led me to work in both Nepal and Oman for some time, exposing me to a range of healthcare environments from resource-limited to resource-rich settings. These experiences have in some way, helped my understanding of healthcare disparities and fueled my passion for family medicine specialty as it is principled with the continuity of care, with holistic focus on overall well-being, but not just treating individual illness.

I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support of my parents, beloved wife and my family, who have been my greatest cheerleaders. As I boarded on this new chapter in the U.S., I am enthusiastic about learning, growing, and expanding my skills with the exceptional team in this program. I am also excited to dive into new cultural experiences here. My goal is to give back something to the community through the art of healing, with a special focus on improving healthcare access for marginalized populations in the future.

More about me, I enjoy spending time with my wife and my family, love to cook Nepali recipes, and to listen music. When I have some time off, I love to trek and travel new places.

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, I have always had a deep passion for the sciences. I pursued my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, earning a degree in Life Sciences with a minor in Psychology. My journey in medicine took me to the Medical University of America in St. Kitts and Nevis, where I not only gained a solid medical education but also had the opportunity to engage with and contribute to the underserved community in Nevis.

After graduating, I returned to Toronto and worked as a clinical assistant in family practices, where I developed a strong appreciation for continuity of care and the importance of building meaningful connections with patients and their families.

Outside of medicine, I love spending time with my family, exploring my creative side as a novice cake decorator, indulging in my love for reading, and discovering new culinary experiences as a dedicated foodie. I am always open to new challenges and experiences, and I am thrilled to be a part of the family medicine residency program. I look forward to growing both personally and professionally with the support and learning opportunities available in Las Cruces.
