MBBS · FCPS Anesthesiology & Intensive Care
Allama Iqbal Medical College, Jinnah Hospital Lahore
I completed my MBBS and FCPS from Allama Iqbal Medical College, affiliated with Jinnah Hospital Lahore. My four years of post-graduate residency were spent entirely in the Department of Anesthesia and ICU at Jinnah, a high-volume tertiary care public hospital where you manage the full spectrum from elective lists to acute emergencies, often within the same shift.
My clinical exposure covered general and regional anesthesia across gynaecology and obstetrics, general surgery, neurosurgery, pediatrics, urology, ophthalmology, ENT, cardiac surgery, and orthopedics. Alongside theatre work, I logged substantial ICU time covering ventilator management, hemodynamic monitoring, and critical care of post-operative and medical patients.
I am currently seeking my next position and am open to hospital roles in Pakistan or internationally. I also conduct structured FCPS preparation sessions for residents, which I find genuinely useful to both sides of the teaching.
Full-time, part-time, or locum positions. Pakistan or abroad. If you are looking for a trained anesthesiologist with broad tertiary care exposure, let us talk.
Get in TouchDeveloped through four years of hands-on post-graduate training at a high-volume public tertiary care hospital.
Full pre-anaesthetic evaluation including airway assessment, risk stratification, and anaesthetic planning for ASA I through complex high-risk patients.
Peripheral and central venous access. Experience with internal jugular and subclavian lines in elective and emergency settings.
Induction, airway management, maintenance, and smooth emergence across nine surgical specialties. Experienced with RSI, difficult airway protocols, and paediatric induction.
Total Intravenous Anaesthesia using propofol-based infusions. Applied routinely for ENT, neurosurgical, and shared airway cases at Jinnah Hospital.
Conscious and deep sedation for endoscopic, radiological, and minor surgical procedures. Monitoring and titration in settings without dedicated anaesthetic nursing support.
High-volume experience including obstetric spinals, saddle blocks, and heavy bupivacaine techniques for lower limb and urological surgery.
Labour epidurals, combined spinal-epidural, and epidural analgesia for post-operative pain. Experience managing epidural complications including dural tap.
Transversus Abdominis Plane block as part of multimodal analgesia for abdominal surgery. Landmark-guided technique performed independently.
Both emergency and elective caseload across all of the following during PGR training:

Jinnah Hospital runs a high patient throughput across all major surgical specialties with a genuinely busy emergency load. The training environment is demanding, which meant building both technical and clinical decision-making skills faster than most structured programs allow.
Fellowship of College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan
Completed while working full clinical shifts. FCPS in anaesthesiology covers a broad base of applied physiology, pharmacology, and clinical anaesthetic practice across all major subspecialties. Passing Part I and Part II while maintaining consistent clinical performance required disciplined preparation, which later informed how I now teach other residents through the same process.
Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore
Core medical training with early interest in perioperative and critical care medicine. Clinical rotations through anaesthesia solidified the specialty choice before finishing the degree.
Structured teaching for anaesthesia residents preparing for FCPS Part I and Part II. Based on direct exam experience and four years of clinical practice at a tertiary centre.
First session is a free 20-minute assessment to understand where you are in your preparation.
Applied physiology, pharmacology, and high-yield MCQ areas. Focus on topics that consistently appear in Part I and the approach to tackling extended matching questions.
Structured case presentation, long case and short case technique, handling examiner questions under pressure. Most candidates fail Part II on presentation, not clinical knowledge.
Anatomy, indications, contraindications, and complication management for spinal, epidural, TAP block, and airway procedures. Taught the way the viva examiner expects it answered.
Bring your weakest topic. We spend the full session on it. Applied pharmacology, difficult airway algorithms, obstetric anaesthesia, paediatric cases. Any area you need to consolidate.
Practical observations from four years of anaesthesia and ICU practice. Written for residents and colleagues, not for general audiences.
I had my baby during residency. Nobody warned me about most of what followed. Here is what I wish I had known and what actually helped.
Most FCPS preparation advice assumes you have dedicated study time. Most residents do not. Here is what actually worked when time and energy were both limited.
Working abroad as an anaesthesiologist from Pakistan requires more than just clinical skill. Here is what actually transfers and what you need to prepare for.
When a ventilated patient is not progressing the way you expect, the answer is usually in a few specific settings. Here is my systematic approach.
The decision between spinal and general anaesthesia for a C-section is not always straightforward. Here is how I think through it and what shifts my decision.
After sitting Part I and working with residents preparing for it, a pattern becomes clear. Three areas appear with enough consistency that you can bank on being tested on them in some form.
My first solo night at Jinnah I had three emergency cases back to back. Here is what got me through and what I wish I had known before that shift.
