Summary
As a Medical Sociologist and Social Epidemiologist, I possess a unique skill set for conducting research utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. I earned my PhD in Sociology from PMAS-Arid Agriculture University in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, where my dissertation focused on an analysis of osteoporosis as a public health risk factor in Pakistan. I also hold a Master of Philosophy in Government and Public Policy from the National Defense University in Islamabad, and a Master of Science in Sociology from the Government College University in Faisalabad. For the past decade, I have worked as a Medical Social Welfare Officer at the Social Welfare Department of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad. Most recently, I served as Deputy Director of Procurement from 2019-2021 at the same institute. My extensive education and experience have equipped me with the professional expertise and knowledge necessary to excel in the field of Medical Sociology and Social Epidemiology.
