I am a Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Public Health, I have several capabilities in different aspects which set me apart from my peers. I hold a DipRCPath (UK) in Medical Microbiology with an excellent level of knowledge, in addition to a Masters degree in Medical Microbiology and Public Health, and currently I am coming towards the end of a PhD in Medical Microbiology and Public Health. I have a UK (NHS) experience in the Medical Microbiology and Infectious diseases since 2018, which I believe it can be an additional value. During my abroad experience, I have been well trained upon the new trends of diagnostics and management in Medical Microbiology and infectious Disease. So, I have the experience in the new Molecular Modalities of the Microbial diagnostics like (Sepsityper, ePlex, Biofire, MALDI and Vitek), how to interpret, authorise results and give some advice according to the NICE and IDSA guidelines. I have been a member of Antimicrobial stewardship, Multidisciplinary team and Infection prevention and control teams during my work in the UK, and I would like to transfer my knowledge to students tending to pass any related Microbiology exam.
Teaching and Research interests are important parts of my career and I enjoy passing on my knowledge and skills to junior colleagues or medical students through their rounds in the hospital.
I guarantee to my student, that you will be much more knowledgable in this specialty and scoring the highest grades in your exams.
