  Thumbay University Hospital

  Jun 2021 - Aug 2021

  Healthcare Management Elective

  In year 4 of MBBS, became the first student in the university's history to request and pioneer an elective in Healthcare Management, diverging from the traditional medical departments like Internal Medicine and Orthopedics. This elective, which has since become a recognized program, allowed me to gain hands-on experience across key departments, including Medical Records (MRD), Health Insurance, Quality Assurance, and Patient Affairs. This initiative has opened a pathway for future medical students interested in healthcare management and non-clinical roles within the healthcare industry. Show less
