She then completed a Diploma in Medical Radiotherapy at the Cancer Institute (WIA), Adyar, Chennai, from 2011 to 2013, and stayed on at the same institution for her MDRT from 2013 to 2015. In 2018 she took the Indian Association of Palliative Care certificate course in essentials of palliative care, followed in 2019 by hands-on palliative care training with the IAPC and Lakshmi Pain and Palliative Care.
She is affiliated with MGM Healthcare and MGM Cancer Institute in Chennai. Her professional memberships span Indian and international radiation oncology communities: she is a life member of the Association of Radiation Oncologists of India and a member of the Indian Society of Oncology, the Indian Brachytherapy Society and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology.

Consultation preparation
- Pathology report and immunohistochemistry if already done.
- Staging imaging in DICOM where possible, plus the written report.
- Operative notes, prior systemic therapy and any previous radiation plan, including dose and volumes if available.
- A named clinical question: curative, adjuvant, salvage or symptom control.
Questions to ask
- Where will simulation and daily treatment take place, and is that the same campus as the consultation?
- Which technique is planned, and why not an alternative already documented on GAF’s cost guides?
- Who owns follow-up after you return home, and what is sent back to the referring team?
- What is the written estimate for the planned course — separate from any consultation fee?
