About Dr. Asiia Vinograd

I'm a physician, cardiologist, and researcher currently based in Phuket, Thailand โ€” preparing for USMLE Step 1 alongside my students.

My path includes medical school at Bashkir State Medical University, cardiology residency, and a PhD from Harbin Medical University in China โ€” giving me a truly international medical perspective.

I also have 2.5 years of NICU nursing experience, which shaped my clinical thinking and passion for neonatology and pediatrics.
