Four new family medicine residents have begun their postgraduate medical training at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, where they will work alongside local physicians and health-care teams while completing the clinical portion of their residency.
Dr. Sanya Sharar, Dr. Neelesh Taticherala, Dr. Amanjot Kaur and Dr. Murad Mun started their training this month.
“Chatham-Kent offers an exceptional learning environment where residents can build confidence, expand their clinical skills, and become part of a collaborative health care team,” said Dr. Zeke Milkovic, chief of staff at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance. “Throughout their residency, they will gain valuable hands-on experience across the full scope of Family Medicine while providing care to our community. We are proud to support the next generation of physicians and look forward to the contributions they will make during their time at CKHA.”
Taticherala completed medical school in China, worked as a general practitioner in rural India and continued his internal medicine training in Germany before joining the program.
“Combining that with palliative care and emergency medicine lets me provide comprehensive, compassionate care whenever and wherever it’s needed most,” said Dr. Taticherala.
Sharar earned her medical degree in Bangladesh before moving to Canada and said she hopes to combine family medicine with hospital-based work.
“I am interested in family medicine with an additional interest in maintaining some hospital-based work,” said Dr. Sharar. “I really value continuity and comprehensive care, and I enjoy building lasting doctor-patient relationships over time.”
Kaur completed her medical degree and postgraduate training in obstetrics and gynecology in India and said she hopes to focus on women’s health, emergency medicine and mental health.
“I am very excited to begin my Family Medicine residency in Chatham-Kent,” she said. “Growing up in a farming household in Punjab, India, I feel a personal connection to Chatham-Kent and its strong agricultural roots. I am particularly passionate about preventive care because I believe that empowering people to make healthy, informed choices can have a significant impact on their lives, families, and communities.”
Mun completed medical school in Bangladesh, where he also served as a resident medical officer at a tertiary care hospital before beginning his family medicine residency.
“What I really like about doing residency here are the knowledgeable educators, plenty of resources for learning, and supportive environment for my personal well-being,” said Dr. Mun.
