After moving to the United Kingdom in 1996, I continued my postgraduate medical training and was awarded Membership of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (MRCP). I subsequently completed specialist training in General Medicine and Gastroenterology, receiving my Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training (CCT) in Gastroenterology in 2007.
