The whirlwind of the last 3 months finally comes to a close – Year 4 professional exams, 5 weeks of CTS electives in Peshawar & Lahore, organizing a conference with 800+ attendees, USMLE Step 1, and an almost endless to-do list. Alhamdolillah for everything ✨❤️ #thoreeseehimmat

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

I give interviewing candidates the option 20 years down the road of a) being full professor, invited to multiple podiums but known as a not so good, rarely operating surgeon vs b) being instructor of surgery but the busiest go-to surgeon in town with no CV. They all pick “b”.

A student, from Islamia College Peshawar, died of suicide. We need more awareness, acceptability, communication for mental health in Pakistan 🇵🇰

From a small town in Dera Ismail Khan to the vibrant Karachi campus, Wahab Fazal’s journey is one of finding his rhythm. He balanced the rigour of medical school with his passion for music, becoming a guitarist and vocalist in the AKU Music Society. He even performed at milestone

Thought-provoking editorial on external validity of heart failure therapy from Wil Ward Vinay Prasad MD MPH in Circ: CQO Clinical translation of HF evidence is hugely challenging. And 100% PARADIGM HF should be replicated w equivalent doses of valsartan Link in replies

A month overdue, but finally done with my last official surgical rotation at AKU ✅ Truly can’t believe how fast time has flown; feels like just yesterday I was learning to scrub in for the first time!

My boys aren’t just here to make up the numbers. This is an inexperienced team but it’s a winners team if you back them. It’s your team,if you give them the support they need.Alhamdulillah for the win, much needed in keeping the series alive. Very very well played Hasan and Haris

Incredibly humbled to be named as one of the recipients of the Global Scholar-in-Training Award by the AACR! I am beyond excited to present my research on Medulloblastoma and engage with experts who can help refine and expand my work. #MedTwitter #AACR25 #AACRGlobalScholars

CAD caused by cigarette smoking, diabetes and mantle radiation exposure is a common phenotype representing three completely different disease processes , yet the risk adjustment models fail to capture all three as a causal agent but rather account for them as comorbidities.

I don’t know what’s more haunting, the desperation in her tears or the destruction that she’s watching. Those who do this to innocent human beings deserve hell, and nothing less. I’m sorry oh people of Gaza. We’ve truly failed you.

Now open access PDF. We need to tighten up our statistical arguments in cardiac surgery if we are to make bold statements about new techniques. Industry sponsored observational studies written by authors with COI and promoted by podium presentations is not good science.

Now that’s a real generator!

Being a med student at AKU during Dean Adil Haider’s tenure was a gift. He didn’t just lead- he inspired us, believed in us and empowered us. He taught us to lead and showed us what an alumnus/a of Aga Khan University can achieve and more. #Festschrift

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

Had my last OSCE as a medical student ever yesterday. Unreal feeling that the next time I see a patient will, Insha’Allah, be as a doctor.
