SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I have been serving as a Consultant Pediatrician at Prince Mansour Military Hospital for the past 11 years, during which I have gained extensive clinical and administrative experience. From 2022 to 2025, I also held the position of Head of the Pediatric Department, further enhancing my leadership and management capabilities.

In my role as Head of Department, I actively participated in Senior Hospital Management Committee meetings, departmental planning, and hospital and educational meetings. I played an integral part in shaping academic and clinical activities, while also ensuring the smooth day-to-day operations of the department.

As a Consultant Pediatrician, my responsibilities include:

Conducting daily ward rounds

Clinical Experience

Over the last 32 years, I have worked in General Pediatrics and Neonatology, holding various roles such as Consultant, Head of Department, Senior Registrar, Specialist Registrar, Resident, and Intern across Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and Pakistan.

I have worked in both Level 2 and tertiary care centers, gaining substantial exposure to a wide range of pediatric and neonatal emergencies, including surgical and cardiac cases. In these scenarios, I have provided direct patient care at a senior level and have supervised junior colleagues in emergency management protocols.

Subspecialty Exposure

My pediatric practice has spanned multiple subspecialties, including:

Ambulatory and Community Pediatrics

Pediatric Gastroenterology

Pediatric Nephrology

Pediatric Neurology

Pediatric Oncology

This broad exposure has significantly enriched my diagnostic and therapeutic skills across complex pediatric conditions.

Teaching Experience

Throughout my career, I have consistently participated in pediatric teaching sessions, postgraduate grand rounds, and X-ray review meetings.

I have been actively involved in both formal and informal teaching of Senior House Officers (SHOs), nursing staff, midwives, and medical students. This has included one-on-one mentoring, group tutorials, bedside teaching, and participation in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) for medical students.

I regularly contribute to the postgraduate pediatric education program through presentations, critical appraisals, and journal club sessions. Additionally, I have assisted in the organization and execution of the MRCPCH Part 2 examinations, as well as the OSCEs for medical students.

Currently, I am responsible for organizing the monthly perinatal mortality and morbidity meetings, ensuring they are conducted effectively to support learning and quality improvement.
