Emergency physician focused on resuscitation, trauma care, and equitable emergency systems.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a highly motivated emergency medicine physician with high-volume tertiary care experience and a deep focus on emergency systems, resuscitation, airway management, and trauma care. In my current Chief Resident, PGME role, I coordinate postgraduate medical education programs, support resident well-being, and lead learning structures like the academic calendar and skill-based workshop programming.
Clinically, I’ve independently run resuscitative codes, managed traumatic and non-traumatic arrests, and provided advanced airway care including RSI and difficult airway management, alongside invasive and non-invasive procedures and POCUS. I also drive quality improvement through audits and simulation program development, while extending my impact through public health and health policy work—ranging from typhoid conjugate vaccine research to comparative policy analysis on COVID-19.
