Dr. Rahul Parajuli
ECFMG-certified physician with intensive care experience in Level 3 ICU settings, committed to high-quality patient care, multidisciplinary teamwork, and evidence-informed clinical practice.
About
I currently serve as an ICU Medical Officer at HAMS Hospital, Kathmandu, where I manage complex critical care cases and support coordinated care delivery in high-acuity environments. My core procedural skills include ventilator management, ACLS/BLS application, central venous and dialysis catheter insertion, basic POCUS, and infection prevention protocols.
Alongside clinical practice, I actively participate in research exposure and scientific meetings, with a long-term goal of contributing to globally connected, innovation-driven care models. My training pathway combines bedside experience with international standards through ECFMG certification and USMLE completion.
