I grew up in Asia, but serendipitously ended up half a world away in Canada for medical school. After obtaining my MD, I underwent residency training in internal medicine, followed by a fellowship in endocrinology at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester. My clinical interests include thyroid disease and hypoglycemia. I also have a strong interest in education and am involved in the teaching of medical residents and medical students.
Having trained at Mayo Clinic, I hold the Mayo philosophy of "the needs of the patient comes first" close to heart, and am a firm believer in evidence/science-based medicine. I am a certified clinical densitometrist and also certified to perform thyroid sonography and biopsy, as well as implantation of the Eversense subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring systems.
Outside of work, I am an avid but amateur astrophotographer and have a keen interest in astronomy.
