What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical role in acute or hospital medicine to refine skills, work in multidisciplinary teams, contribute empathetically to patient care, and expand emergency and surgical experience under supervision.

I am a GMC-registered physician with a PMDC license and broad experience across emergency, surgical, and outpatient settings in the UK, Qatar, Pakistan, and Canada. I bring hands-on skills in history taking, procedures, and acute patient management.

During clinical attachments and roles as a medical officer, physician assistant, and clinical assistant, I managed emergency cases, performed venipuncture, ABGs, IV cannulation, suturing, and assisted in surgeries while documenting care in OSCAR EMR. I have counselled pre-surgical ophthalmology patients, supported mass vaccination campaigns, and participated in contact tracing and public-health responses. I contributed to an audit on virtual community nephrology currently under review and presented a poster at the International Society of Nephrology.

I am seeking a role that strengthens my clinical skills, enables collaborative multidisciplinary work, and offers supervised growth in acute and surgical care. I pride myself on empathy, adaptability, and a commitment to patient safety and evidence-based practice.
