BIO

JP (NSW), MM(SexHlth), GCert-HighEd, PhD, FECSM, FHEA

To-date, I proudly hold triple postgraduate qualifications in sexual health medicine from the University of Sydney (USyd), Australia and an undergraduate degree in medicine and surgery from India. I am a Fellow with the European Society for Sexual Medicine and the Higher Education Academy (UK). My 15 years (and counting) of interdisciplinary clinical practice in sexual health spans across India (as a consultant in sexual medicine) and Australia (as a psychosexual therapist). Since 2017, have been working as a Lecturer in Sexual Health (Sexology) with the Faculty of Medicine (USyd) in both teaching and research capacities. For about 14 years (2006-2013, 2015-2022), I have worked as a Project Officer & Manager in various primary healthcare initiatives funded by the Australian Commonwealth Government. In 2015, completed a first-of-its-kind doctoral research on sexuality of Indian migrant men living in Australia. Have passion for sexual health promotion by means of designing and delivering educational activities for multidisciplinary healthcare professionals.
