I have written a few papers focusing on PEM-related scope and opportunities along with dedicated sessions and talks in different forums in front of stakeholders.
My objective is to progress the state-of-the-art PEM driven by evidence-based practice and guide stakeholders in re-shaping their policy toward developing PEM-friendly Hospitals, along with this willing to earn and share the experience that I have attained, hence applying for the suitable position in the middle east or elsewhere.
