In an era where most professionals strive to specialize in one field, Dr. Madhavi Bathula is a shining example of someone who has mastered two seemingly different domains—medicine and technology—and used them both to create meaningful, lasting impact.
Her journey is not just a career timeline; it is an inspiring blueprint of how determination, compassion, and innovation can change lives and build legacies.
Rooted in Healing: The Early Medical Journey
Born with an innate desire to help others, Dr. Madhavi Bathula embarked on her academic path at NTR University of Health Sciences, where she earned her Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree from 1998 to 2004. This foundational education fueled her passion for healing, and she took her first leap into the American medical landscape with an observership at Virginia Hospital Center from 2004 to 2005.
Madhavi Bathula’s research spirit blossomed during her role as a Research Assistant at Howard University (2005–2008), where she delved into the complexities of medical science with dedication. Driven by a relentless commitment to patient care, she joined Howard University Hospital as a Resident in Internal Medicine in 2008 and served there until 2009.
But for Dr. Madhavi Bathula, learning was a never-ending journey. She moved on to the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she spent three transformative years (2009–2012) as a Resident in Neurology, followed by a year-long Fellowship in Neuromuscular Medicine (2012–2013). These years honed not only her clinical expertise but also her deep empathy and understanding of patient needs.

In 2007—during her residency training—Dr. Madhavi Bathula founded Halvik, a bold and visionary move that showcased her entrepreneurial spirit.
