Experience

Assistant Professor of Medicine, Taibah University, Madinah. KSA

( 2008 - present)
soon after I started my career as an assistant professor in internal medicine I was granted a
scholarship to pursue further training in Endocrinology. During the short period I spent in the
department of internal medicine “approximately six months” I practiced undergraduate
teaching in the form of routine lectures, tutorials, bedside clinical sessions and participated in
examining undergraduate medical students both third and fourth year. I also had the
opportunity to be the exam organizer for the third year medical students for one term before I
leave the department for my scholarship during which I was responsible for arranging both
written and clinical exams, allocating clinical cases, inviting external examiners and
organizing all logistic needs.

hopefully would be able to analyze some cell membrane proteins. I had the opportunity as

well to write up the proposal for a randomized control trial which studies vitamin D effect in

statin induced myopathy group of patients compared to placebo. this project was approved

by health Canada and McGill ethics committee and will start soon.

Teaching experience at McGill:

I had the opportunity to participate in undergraduate teaching, for example:

• Gave Interactive lectures to clerk students as part of their curriculum :

• Hypertension management

• Diabetes mellitus type 2 management in ambulatory care

• Dyslipidemia management

• Approach to Goitre and thyroid nodules

• I was responsible for one group of students “moderation, supervision, evaluating

rials as part of Medicine-I curriculum. A total of 6 tutorials covering Diabetes, Thy-

roid, Growth, Adrenal, Pituitary, covering both physiology and disease. also cov-
