Teaching Experience

I was actively engaged in teaching of medical students from University of Melbourne and Basic Physician Trainees of RACP. I participated in arranging tutorials and teaching sessions for Basic Physician Trainee Registrars for preparation of short and long cases for FRACP examination.

I was a Teaching Fellow at Bond University and involved in regular teaching of medical students from Bond and Griffith Universities, Australia and also in the tutorials of house officers and residents in UK and Australian Hospitals. I also conducted educational seminars for updating cardiology residents and registrars in rotation on various cardiovascular topics.

I am currently involved in the teaching and training of house officers and middle grade doctors at Tahir Heart Institute, Pakistan. I am also involved in training of nursing and paramedical staff and staff of cardiac catheterization laboratory at Tahir Heart Institute.
