She has extensively trained in gynaecological surgery (hysterectomies, myomectomies, cystectomies), laparoscopic (key-hole) procedure and has a keen interest in hysteroscopic surgeries (a non-invasive procedure to surgically treat small masses within the womb).

Dr Dharshini was a Clinical Teacher and Examiner with the Dept of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, NUS. She has conducted Clinical Skills workshops to train medical students and young doctors in Obstetrics management. She was made Chief Registrar in 2011 at the National University Hospital.

A prolife advocate, she has also published research on the incidence of Chlamydia Trachomatis in post-abortion females in Singapore.
