She has completed her MBBS and DNB (General Medicine), with internal medicine training at Jaslok Hospital, Mumbai, followed by three years of neurology training at Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre and Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital.
Profile Highlights :
- Before her residency, Dr. Iyer worked in emergency medicine at Lilavati Hospital and in general medicine with Dr. Farokh Udwadia at Breach Candy Hospital. She completed a summer fellowship in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology at Cleveland Clinic, USA, and trained in neuromuscular medicine and EMG with Dr. Bashar Katirji at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland.
