01 / AboutThe physician

A doctor built for the sharp end of medicine.

Curt is an MBBS graduate of Goa Medical College, now a Junior Resident moving between the Cardiology and Neurology firms — seven months deep into active cardiology training, and counting.

His record reads patient-first: strong clinical exposure, genuine procedural confidence, and a clear pull toward the sharp end of medicine — emergency and critical care, where reading fast and deciding clearly is the whole job.

Off the wards, a decade as a national-level badminton player shaped the rest — discipline, teamwork, and the kind of composure that doesn't flinch when the room gets loud.

02 / FocusAreas of practice

Where the work lives.

Four threads run through the residency — the heart, the brain, the front door, and the sickest patients in the building.

01

Cardiology

Active residency · ongoing

Seven months and counting on the cardiology firm — rhythm disturbance, heart failure and the acutely unwell heart, on the wards and in critical care.

02

Neurology

5 months

Stroke, seizures and the structured neurological exam — including lumbar punctures performed independently for diagnosis.

03

Emergency Medicine

Core passion

A love for the front door: rapid assessment, airway, and stabilising the sickest patients first — calm decisions under pressure.

04

Critical Care

High-acuity

Comfortable around ventilated and deteriorating patients — intubation, access and team-based resuscitation.

03 / ProceduresHands-on

Procedural confidence.

The CV is procedural for a reason — from independent lumbar punctures to assisting in theatre. Real reps, on real patients.
