Leading with Sincerity, Integrity and Vision for "APPNA United"

Assistant Professor of Cardiology at the University of Rochester, New York
Government College, Lahore - Class of 1994 | The Aga Khan University, Karachi - Class of 1999

I stand for CHANGE
I stand for UNITY
I stand for bringing a YOUNG AND DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP to APPNA
I stand against the status quo which has held us back for years
I believe in representing all APPNA members from all over Pakistan and the United States
I believe in transcending all boundaries of ethnicity, religion, provincialism and alumni politics

I have a rich experience at every level in APPNA and have done work that matters. I have personally mentored directly or indirectly over seven hundred young physicians from every medical college in Pakistan and I have conducted dozens of mentorship seminars all over the US. I was part of the core team that worked intensely during the earthquake in Pakistan in 2005 till the rehabilitation process. I am still part of numerous philanthropic projects in Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar. I am an active member of the Advocacy committee and previously the Research, Education and Scientific Affairs committee.
I believe that together we can change the destiny of APPNA and take it to its true potential; let's make this dream a reality. Let's create a bright and prosperous future for APPNA. We can and we will, Insha'Allah. Active member of Committee of Young Physicians and previously active member in the Advocacy committee and Research, Education and Scientific Affairs Committee and Social Welfare Committee.

As Secretary, my aims will be:

To automate the reporting of all council meetings.
Use WebEx and online meeting portals for strategic planning meeting, urgent council meetings and committee teleconferences.
Digital archiving of all such web based meetings.
Engage ABIM and other respective societies in Family medicine and Pediatrics in discussion over maintenance of certification (MOC) and to make the process relevant to our practising physicians.

Enhance Telemedicine portal for providing free medical treatment to patients across Pakistan by US based volunteer members of APPNA.
Be a strong voice in the Executive committee for Young Physicians, Social Welfare and Disaster Relief in the US and Pakistan, Research and Education and Advocacy for Pakistani Americans and Pakistani Physicians.
Develop programs and guidance for early career attendings (less than 15 years in practice), who now constitute a significant part of Pakistani Physicians in the United States.
