I graduated from the University of Gondar School of Medicine in 2014 and served as a psychiatrist and Chief Clinical Director at this prestigious institution. Currently, I am on leave without pay from the University of Gondar and working full-time as a contract employee at McMaster University.
I am planning to apply for an adjunct position at the University of Gondar.
I was born and raised in Kombolcha, South Wollo, Ethiopia, where I grew up with a strong curiosity for science and a deep desire to serve my community. After completing my early education, I joined the University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. I studied medicine with dedication and completed my Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 2018, following my qualification exam in August 2017 and my internship in September 2018.
After graduating, I worked as a lecturer and general practitioner at the University of Gondar before joining the dermatology specialty training program at ALERT Center, Addis Ababa University. I completed my dermatology residency with distinction in 2022. Today, I practice as a consultant dermatologist, providing clinical and aesthetic dermatology services at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital while also teaching residents and medical students. My journey reflects my passion for professionalism, lifelong learning, and advancing dermatologic care in Ethiopia.
