She possesses a profound appreciation for the strength derived from collaborating with patients, their families, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver optimal mental health outcomes. Dr Shoba's robust foundation in medicine began with a Bachelor’s degree completed overseas, providing her with exposure to a wide array of international healthcare systems. This was complemented by rigorous academic assessment, including the Australian Medical Council (AMC) and Fellowship exams, extensive research, and ongoing clinical placements across Australia.
