Dr. Bikram Sharma, 2016 AUSOM graduate, has continued to flourish after his time here at Avalon University. In a recent conversation, he states he misses exploring the beautiful beaches of Curaçao, and the Physical Diagnosis Course with Dr. Arja, however he is very grateful that he obtained his Residency at Rosalind Franklin University. He strives, and succeeds, to follow in his father’s footsteps by being intelligent, sophisticated, and being dedicated to helping others.
His passion towards helping his patients in Psychiatry is leading him to run 2 inpatient rehabilitation centers and an intensive outpatient program to help serve those struggling with addiction. He puts his patients’ needs first by going above and beyond for them, taking the lead, and advocating for their appropriate care. He does for his patients what he would do for his family. Dr. Sharma feels that he resembles a Lion, in that way, because he would do anything to protect his pack, his family.
Along with his accomplishments in the field of Medicine, Dr. Sharma has also had the chance to complete a Marathon recently in Miami! What an amazing accomplishment! He has also had the opportunity to travel to 50 countries all over the world! He has learned about many cultures and continues to expand his horizons professionally and personally.
We wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors and are more than honored to have him as our November Alumni Spotlight.
“In psychiatry, I am able to work with patients and learn their stories. It is more than just understanding symptoms, it is important to understand the patient from a holistic perspective to better serve them. That is why I love psychiatry because I get to know my patients in depth while treating them.”
