Portrait of Dr. Devendranath Mannuru of Clinical Practice Foundation Skills LLC

About Devendranath Mannuru, MD, CHCQM-PHYADV, CPXP

With over 13 years of clinical experience as an internal medicine trained physician, I have been serving as the internal medicine clerkship director for over six years, core faculty of a transitional year residency and categorical residency program for over ten years, and inpatient associate program director of a categorical residency program for over three years. In addition, I serve as the clinical documentation integrity, quality, safety, and patient experience physician advisor at a prestigious academic institution. I am also a board member of a prestigious healthcare organization, a position I am fortunate to hold.

My role as a practicing physician, academic leader in undergraduate and graduate medical education, and clinical documentation integrity, quality, safety, and patient experience physician advisor has equipped me with the necessary competence to share my knowledge and skills. I am privileged to pass on this knowledge and skills to medical students of our medical school from pre-clinical years to residency, guide and mentor resident physicians during their training, and hundreds of practicing physicians and APP/PA members.

My experience and skills have allowed me to be a guest speaker on prestigious award-winning podcasts. I am proud to have been a vital member in the success of our institution across these domains. 

As a clinician, I understand the challenges that the first week of residency or clinical practice can bring. I personally experienced this during my residency training in the early 2000’s.” After graduating in India, I began my internal medicine residency training in 2008. Fresh from India, I was unprepared for the expectations of the U.S. health systems sciences and clinical practice. It took me several months to grasp and effectively perform my duties as a resident. This initial struggle affected my confidence and performance, leading to long work hours, fatigue, and limited time for personal and professional growth. It took me years to regain my confidence and perform at my best. This experience has fueled my advocacy for a focused onboarding course, particularly for international medical graduates. 

I have developed this organization to support medical students, residents, fellows, physicians, clinicians, and health systems in their journeys to deliver safe, effective, high-quality care and receive accurate recognition of their efforts to the total level.

About Parul Dubey, MBBS

After graduating from medical school, I started preparing for USMLE exams. I completed USMLE Step-1 successfully. Dev and I got married, and we moved to the U.S. I continued to support our growing family while Dev focused on professional training. I have seen Dev’s struggles during residency training due to the need for more understanding of the health systems sciences and clinical practice expectations. We always talked about finding ways to support others on their journey and beyond. When he came up with this vision of supporting clinicians, I was more than ready to be a part of it.

I oversee the organization’s operations, innovations, and finance-related aspects. It is my honor and pleasure to be a part of this organization.

Thank you for your interest. We hope to serve and support your professional journey’s in the best possible way!
