BJ Medical College Trained Female Pulmonologist with Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship and Dual-Institution Sleep Medicine Training

Pulmonology has evolved substantially, with interventional bronchoscopy and sleep medicine now forming distinct sub-specialty practice areas that require dedicated training beyond the standard MD curriculum. Dr Divya's pathway combines MD Pulmonary Medicine from BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad (one of Gujarat's apex government tertiary teaching institutions), a dedicated Fellowship in Interventional Pulmonology, and Sleep Disorder Training across two institutions (BJ Medical College Ahmedabad and St John's Hospital Bengaluru), alongside dedicated Bronchoscopy Training at BJ Medical College.

Female pulmonologists with this combination of interventional fellowship and dual-institution sleep medicine training remain particularly uncommon in South Indian metropolitan practice. Combined with five language fluency in English, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil and dual practice at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road (₹1000) and Manipal Hospital Jayanagar (₹850), this combination of sub-specialty respiratory care is now offered across two Bangalore locations, with accessible pricing at both.
