Summary
I am a young, passionate and hardworking job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure an entry-level Orthotist /Prosthetist (CPO) position. I am a new graduate (2022) seeking a position where I can offer my set of skills which I have gained from my past experiences as well as a position where I am able to expand my knowledge and expertise in the field by learning new methods and techniques which will assist me in providing the best and most effective patient care and help achieve company goals. I am excited about combining my knowledge of physiology, anatomy, biomechanics etc. with my clinical and interpersonal skills to create successful Orthotic and Prosthetic devices to improve the overall patient experience. During my previous training and employment at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (3rd largest hospital in the world) and Roger Wolfson & associates (Private Practice) , I had the opportunity to work with a wide range of patients, including pediatric, adolescent, and special needs patients. I've dealt with many different types of cases throuout my training at the facilities.
My passion for helping people aligns well with most institute's mission to provide comprehensive, compassionate care, and I’m eager for the opportunity to discuss how my experience can best be used to produce successful patient outcomes.
Sincerely, Taahir Dangor
