Introduced to medicine through research, Dhruv has shifted his passions to empathetic clinical care and medical education, as a contributor to the CPSolvers (especially through VMR as a case presenter, discussant, and compiler of cases) and team member for the Not Just Little Adults podcast (CPedsSolvers, if you will). When he’s not looking for apartments or stressing about intern year, he can be found biking, gardening, and cooking.

Outside of medicine she is a dog person and loves being outside mountain biking, running, and camping.
