I have experience  working  as a  Medical Research documenting Officer ( srilanka )  Telemedicine & virtual care Assistant ( Ottawa  and Toronto ) . 

I have worked as a Telemedicine Assistant with Appletree Medical Group, Ontario for close to two years. Here I have interacted closely with patients and physicians ensuring the highest level of care, conducting a comprehensive medical histories and managed patient registration.

I feel very confident with my knowledge and the ethical responsibilities one would assume as a Telemedicine Assistant. As an international medical degree holder, I am excited to deliver all forms of medical treatments approved under the Telemedicine Assistant position.

Also, my past experiences as a Research Document Medical Officer in Sri Lanka’s Kidney Transplant Ward have given me the tools and skillset that I need to work effectively as Telemedicine Assistant.

I liaised patient information between clients and supervising medical consultants and I have counseled patients in English related to their medical concerns. As per my duty I took patient vitals, documented and reported back to consulting physicians. Also, I was required to maintain a clean working environment and made sure medical supply rooms were fully stocked.

As a result of my international experience, I am fluent in English and Tamil and have a working-level understanding of Russian and Sinhala.

My participation in Algonquin’s OSLT-Health course also ensured my transference of medical communication in the Canadian medical context. Additionally, I have gained excellent communication and presentation skills as a Red Cross support worker in Canada and Sri Lanka, as I travelled all over Sri Lanka educating people about the dengue virus. Furthermore, I managed a team and held peace education programs across Sri Lanka giving me the essential interpersonal skills to manage and work in teams.
