The ABIM certification recognizes clinical competence at a level above that required for licensure. Those physicians who successfully complete the requirements and pass the board examinations have documented their commitment to the highest level of professionalism in patient care.
Board certification is the industry benchmark by which physician quality is measured and recognized. Board certification requires that physicians demonstrate the currency of their knowledge – and their ability to use it – by passing a rigorous and challenging examination and by assessing their knowledge and performance in practice on an ongoing basis.
Dr. Gowda’s expertise in medical oncology complement and enhance the comprehensive capabilities of the team at Doctors Park Family Physicians. As a medical oncologist, Dr. Gowda manages the medical component of cancer treatment including chemotherapy and hormone therapy. He also works closely with other specialists including surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists in planning and administering the most appropriate therapies.
Dr. Gowda completed his fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and completed his residency at the University of Florida. He also earned his master’s degree in medical sciences with research in molecular genetics and microbiology at the University of Florida, and earned his Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery at Bangalore Medical College in India.
