Intern, Department of Internal Medicine, Prof. Dr. Ijaz Hussain Shah

I used to deal with the patients in ambulatory, inpatient and emergency settings. I participated in direct medical care based on history taking, physical exams, formulating initial management plans and case presentations to attending physicians during routine ward rounds and teaching sessions. I was also responsible for daily progress notes of the patients in an inpatient setting. I had rotations in the Emergency Department (ED) where I was expected to make provisional diagnosis, provide initial resuscitative measures to hemodynamically unstable patients and plan subsequent management under supervision. The most challenging part was to encounter patients from rural areas with lack of health education. It was a daunting task to educate those patients about their health issues while addressing their concerns. That opportunity improved my interpersonal skills and multi-tasking nature as I used to counsel them in using their native language.
