I have recently completed a 3 year post as an Emergency Medical Officer in the Sheikh Zayed Hospital and Medical College, Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan. I feel that the experience gained in this post has enabled me to further develop my professional skills, both as an individual and as part of a team. I believe I can show that I am a reliable, efficient person who can integrate into any environment. In addition to the above, I have been practicing as a private General Practitioner with my own surgery for approximately 7 years. This has broadened my experience and understanding of the responsibilities of a family physician.Education
