Description
Having worked at 2 of the premier medical institutions in the UAE over the last 8 years in University Hospital Sharjah, Sharjah – UAE and Rashid Hospital, Dubai – UAE, I have noticed great growth both as a physician and a person. Although quite pleased with my current situation I would not be averse to change if offered growth professionally as well as an increment in my financial potential too.
With the aforementioned experience at some of the busiest hospitals not only in the UAE, but the MENA region in general, I feel well equipped and trained to be an asset to any institution that I work with in the future.
