Dr Ravi Kumar

I am a doctor with an avid interest in learning about life and living, hence I spent a significant portion of my youth learning practical philosophy. This helped me manage the medical department within the Vedanta Academy where I learnt philosophy, and an additional department there as well. It also helped me learn to navigate and resolve the ups and downs of interpersonal relationships and interdepartmental relationships, to an extent. As well as understanding people at a deeper level than just the spoken words.

I now work as a general practitioner in Ipoh, Malaysia, but am interested in pursuing managerial positions, having had a glimpse of that while in the academy. I don't profess to know the local healthcare system well, but have close friends in it, and am willing to learn.
