Medical Device Reprocessing Technician
Physician by training, now focused on the work that keeps every surgical instrument safe before it reaches a patient. Completing the MDRT program at Seneca Polytechnic.
Clinical knowledge, applied behind the scenes
I practised as a pediatrician in Kyiv for over ten years, including two years as head of a medical department with a team of 40. I know what instruments are for, how procedures run, and why a single missed defect matters.
In Canada I trained as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, ran my own practice, and have worked at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto, since 2024, where every room and spa area is inspected against Forbes five-star standards. That habit of checking every detail against a written standard is what I bring to medical device reprocessing.
