I work in developing and evaluating educational programs for medical courses both locally and internationally. My focus is on creating curricula that meet both national and global standards, using modern teaching methods, and ensuring that assessment strategies are effective. I emphasize ongoing evaluation of learning outcomes and use feedback to continually improve the course content. By working with educators and stakeholders, I aim to create programs that are not only high-quality and evidence-based but also adaptable to the changing needs of healthcare education, ensuring the best possible learning experience.
