Furthermore, she holds professional registration with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF).

During her postgraduate training, Dr Teodorczuk completed placements at Akeso Clinic and Helen Joseph Hospital.

In addition, she presents regularly at professional symposia on adolescent well-being and resilience.

Finally, at MemoryCare Parktown, Dr Teodorczuk co-developed the clinic’s memory rehabilitation workshops, which blend positive psychology techniques with family-systems therapy.
