She has also worked as a clinical observer at the University of Illinois, University of Chicago, and Indiana University.
Nijhum worked as a physician for a project led by Johns Hopkins University to decrease maternal and infant mortality rates in a rural area.

Nijhum is also an active member of ECHO-USA, a charitable organization where she volunteers to set up free health care facilities for low-income people in Bangladesh.
In her free time, Nijhum enjoys volunteering for the underprivileged population, traveling, and spending time with her children.
