Dr. Mithilesh Dronavalli

Psychiatry Registrar & Social Epidemiologist

Employed Available
My goal is to help prevent and alleviate suffering for the sickest, poorest, and most vulnerable people through psychiatry and mental health research.

I have 4 years of experience in clinical psychiatry, where I treated patients. I was previously in stage 2 of the RANZCP training program and have completed the basic foundation training program. I have general medical registration with AHPRA. I took a detour into public health medicine and did my PhD in mental health services research. (awaiting results)
