Dr Vishal Kulkarni boasts a decade of comprehensive experience. During the initial five years, he dedicated himself to mastering General Medicine, recognizing the fundamental importance of excelling as a Physician to become a proficient super-specialist.
​
He works as a Assistant Professor in KIMS Hubli and a visiting consultant in HCG NMR cancer centre, Suchirayu Hospital, Sushruta Hospital, Vivekananda Hospital, City Hospital, Sanjeevini Hospital and Lifeline Hospital.
​
His professional journey includes a one-year tenure at Karuna Medical College, where he served as an Assistant Professor in the General Medicine department. This experience not only refined his teaching and research capabilities but also fostered a profound comprehension of Cancer and the evident gap in specialized Cancer care within the Indian healthcare landscape.
Motivated by this realization, he pursued training in the field of medical oncology. As a DNB resident, he underwent training at HCG Hospitals, an exclusive Cancer Specialist Hospital situated on K R Road, Bangalore—recognized as the flagship institution among the HCG chain of hospitals. During this period, he had the unique opportunity to learn from the top Oncologists in Bangalore, facing and overcoming various clinical challenges under their guidance.
The training exposed him to a diverse range of solid cancers, and he also spent six months in the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) unit. His active involvement encompassed approximately 25 transplants, both autologous and allogenic. Furthermore, he engaged in numerous academic pursuits, including teaching and research, resulting in the publication of approximately 10 articles in National and International Journals.
