About

I am a highly experienced medical educationist and academic administrator with a strong technical background in the installation, operation, maintenance, and training related to specialized medical and educational equipment. Over the course of my career, I have overseen the implementation and troubleshooting of assessment technologies such as OSPE/OSCE stations, high-fidelity simulation systems, telemedicine platforms, and integrated learning management systems (LMS) in both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education settings.
My hands-on experience includes the deployment and functional oversight of examination software systems, audiovisual equipment for medical simulation labs, and digital assessment tools. I have led quality audits and operational reviews for technology-enabled teaching and assessment platforms, ensuring compliance with international standards in assessment validity and reliability. I have also worked closely with IT departments and facility teams to upgrade or install critical infrastructure such as networked exam hubs, secure data storage units, and real-time monitoring systems for academic assessment.
I have supervised technical and academic staff in the management of capital and operational budgets, ensuring appropriate procurement and maintenance of medical education technologies. My role in policy and planning at the University of Health Sciences involved aligning technical acquisitions with institutional goals, including integration of student information systems (SIS), academic databases, and research analytics tools.
In the realm of capacity building, I have designed and delivered over 70 workshops and training sessions for faculty and staff across Pakistan, focusing on topics such as the construction of high-validity MCQs and OSPE/OSCE station design, standard setting methodologies, and quality assurance in technical assessment systems. I have developed and disseminated several technical manuals and SOPs to standardize assessment procedures and ensure reproducibility across examination centers.
My involvement in projects like “Transparency of OSPE through a Cost and Time Effective Procedure” and the HEC Project on Quality-Based Ranking of Higher Education Institutions reflects my ability to blend policy, pedagogy, and technology to improve institutional performance. I have facilitated trainings at various medical and dental colleges for the use of assessment platforms and developed workshops on curriculum development involving equipment-specific teaching modules.
My international exposure includes presenting at leading conferences like AMEE, IMEC, and APMEC, where I have spoken on integrating technology into medical education, standardization of technical assessments, and professional identity transformation through simulation and assessment tools.
I hold certifications in curriculum development, qualitative research methods, and assessment techniques, and am proficient in Microsoft Office and SPSS, which support my technical documentation and analysis work. Through my continued collaboration with academic and healthcare institutions globally, I remain dedicated to advancing the safe, effective, and innovative use of specialized equipment in education and training.
