My strong desire to improve people’s health led me into medicine at five year M.B.B.S program in one of the most prestigious medical Institute of Pakistan. During the third year of medical school, I was introduced to direct patient care during clinical rotations in various specialties, but unique nature of Internal Medicine appealed to me most. After my last year of medical school, I completed six months internship in Internal Medicine at an affiliated university hospital.
My internship strengthened my knowledge of medicine and gave me solid clinical skills, which prepared me for the more demanding responsibilities of my residency .With a dream of becoming an outstanding physician; after my internship in 2005, I worked at multiple community based Hospital's in Pakistan for a year to serve needy people that also improve my clinical skills and strengthened my clinical knowledge. From 2006-2008, I worked at Karachi Institute of Heart Diseases as Resident Medical Officer, during my training I learned not only mechanism, pathogenesis, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases but also gained tremendous knowledge in general Internal Medicine by diagnosing and treating complications of Myocardial Infarction and Post Angiography patients like Respiratory compromise and Renal failure.

Internal Medicine is the perfect medium through which I can develop the clinical skills and
