Dr. Awadhesh Kumar
Experience: | 8 years |
Education: | King George's Medical University |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am working as a general physician and most of my practice revolve around managing chronic issues like hypertension and diabetes, two condition that affect huge number of patients but each case feel different. With hypertension I focus on both medicine and lifestyle advice, cause without diet control or regular follow up the numbers dont stay stable. Diabetes is even more tricky, sugar levels swing fast, and sometimes patients come only when complication already started, that makes early detection very important in my work.
Alongside this I also take care of dermatology related problems, from common skin infections and allergies to long term conditions that really disturb quality of life. Skin problems are often visible and make patients feel conscious, so I try to explain treatment in simple words, give them confidence while we manage it step by step. Being in general medicine also mean I connect all these areas together, cause often diabetes or blood pressure end up showing signs on skin too, and missing those link can affect treatment outcome.
I keep my approach practical, treating not only the lab reports but also the daily challenges patients face. Sometimes it’s about adjusting medicines, sometimes just about listening and clearing doubts that have been ignored for long. That’s what general practice feel like to me, a mix of clinical care and human connect. |
Achievements: | I am proud to have completed both my MBBS and MD degree from King George’s Medical University, Lucknow, one of the most reputed and oldest medical institutions in India. Those years of study were not easy, long nights, exams pressure, clinical postings.. but they shaped me into a disciplined doctor with solid foundation in medicine. Training there gave me exposure to wide range of cases, from routine to very complex, and that learning still guide my practice everyday. |
I am working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Community Medicine at Autonomous State Medical College Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, where I have been part of the permanent faculty for last 8 years. My work is mostly about teaching medical students, guiding them through the subject, and also staying active in public health training and research. Community medicine is not only about textbooks, it’s about linking healthcare with society, and that’s something I keep trying to show in my classes. Over the years I got the chance to be involved in planning and execution of community health programs, sometimes very local, sometimes bigger in scale. Teaching epidemiology, biostatistics, health management is part of daily routine, but what I like most is seeing students connect these concepts with actual field visits and data collection. That moment when theory start making sense in real life situations, it feels worth all the effort. Working in a government medical college also give exposure to a wide range of challenges—limited resources, varied patient populations, sudden outbreaks where quick planning is needed. I learned how important preventive medicine is, and how awareness at the community level can reduce disease burden much before hospital care is required. My role also extends to mentoring young doctors and postgraduate trainees who are looking to build careers in community health. Guiding them in research projects, thesis writing, surveys, and field activities keeps me equally engaged. Sometimes it’s tiring, yes, but then seeing their progress makes it rewarding. Even after 8 years in this post, I feel like community medicine is still evolving and demanding new ideas all the time. Whether it’s non communicable disease control, maternal and child health, or health education campaigns, every project adds a layer to my own learning. And I think that’s what keeps me going, the sense that the work we do doesn’t just stay in classrooms but actually goes out into villages, cities, and make impact on public health.
