Yousa Saquib

It is my aspiration to work as compassionate, diligent and competent doctor who practices up-to-date, evidence based medicine and builds therapeutic relationships with patients, striving for their best health outcomes. I wish to continue academic endeavours and apply myself to research projects and audits in critical care, peri-operative & pain medicine. I have a strong interest in critical care medicine and wish to pursue a career in Anaesthetics with a strong ICU foundation. I will constantly dedicate myself to self-betterment by completing professional development courses and attending workshops to improve my skillset. I will strive to be a role model for my colleagues and future clinicians, with the ultimate goal of safe, holistic medical practice.
