EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP & GLOBAL HEALTH
I’ve had the privilege of crafting and delivering both nationally recognized and tailor-made training programs for civilian, commercial, and government agencies.
Imagine courses like FPOS (I), Medicine in Remote Areas, AWLS, WFR, PHTLS, REMT, ITLS, ACLS, and Tropical & Travel Health—all designed to equip individuals with essential skills.
From 2009 to 2012, I served as the Clinical Education & Training Manager at Exmed (UK) Ltd, where I thrived as a tutor and lecturer for adult learners from diverse backgrounds.
My journey in education doesn’t stop there. I’ve mentored healthcare practitioners at every level, boosting their knowledge, skills, and confidence to tackle healthcare challenges in remote and austere environments.
One highlight of my career has been designing and implementing an education program in Kurdistan to elevate pre-hospital care standards for national doctors to meet international benchmarks—a project that’s been ongoing since 2014.
My passion for education and development is fueled by the profound impact it can have on people’s lives and well-being, especially in resource-limited settings.
There’s nothing quite like the ripple effect of knowledge and empowerment, and I’m committed to being a part of that transformative journey.
