ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm Pranavi Donepudi...

From mastering complex Carnatic ragas for seven years to leading the baritone section in our state championship marching band, music has taught me that precision, patience, and practice are the keys to excellence. These same principles guide my passion for medicine, a path inspired by my grandfather who served his community as a dedicated physician. Just as every note in a musical piece must be perfectly placed to create harmony, I've applied this attention to detail while shadowing neurologists, pediatricians, and other specialists, and during my internship at Rutgers FCHS where I helped families develop healthier lifestyles. Each clinical experience has shown me that medicine, like music, requires both technical precision and a deep understanding of rhythm - the rhythm of patient care, healing, and compassion. Join me as we explore how the rhythms of music and medicine create a symphony of healing!
