Endocrinology & Diabetes SCE

I am currently an Assistant Professor and a Consultant of Internal Medicine, Diabetes and Endocrinology at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. I am involved in clinical, research, and teaching roles, which include course coordination and exam preparations.

I graduated and earned my doctorate from Menoufia University, Egypt, where I still keep an academic position as a lecturer. Additionally, I worked as a Clinical Research Fellow at Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard University, USA (2008-2009), where I contributed to a variety of clinical research related to diabetes, obesity, satiety hormones and inflammatory markers.

My clinical experience involves a variety of outpatient and inpatient adult diabetes and endocrinology cases from diverse nationalities. I have shared in journal publications, a book chapter and peer review activities.

I am honoured to join the Endocrinology and Diabetes team at StudyPRN: a famous resource for the SCE exam. The questions are based on real clinical scenarios, currently updated, and always with a concise learning objective based on the SCE curriculum. The question bank can not only help endocrinologists pass the exam, but also represents an up-to-date, problem-based learning resource for practising clinicians.

I achieved my MBBS from Rawalpindi Medical University, Pakistan. After graduating, I completed my four years residency in Internal Medicine at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Lahore, and got my fellowship degree, FCPS (Internal Medicine), from the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan. Moreover, I hold certification from the Royal College of Physicians (UK) for SCE in Endocrinology and Diabetes. I’m currently working as a Consultant Physician, Endocrinologist and Diabetologist.

StudyPRN is the best revision resource for SCE exams. I passed my exam in the first sitting because of this. It provides you with a focused approach based on the exam format, accuracy, difficulty level and explanations of MCQs according to updated guidelines. Now being an author of StudyPRN, I keep all these points in my mind and highly recommend anyone who wants to be successful in the exam to utilise this resource.

I am a Diabetes and Endocrinology Consultant at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and an Honorary Consultant Endocrinologist at the University Hospital of Wales.

I completed my graduation and post-graduation at the University of Delhi with a thesis on thyroid dysfunction. Following this, I had the opportunity to research neuroendocrine tumours, for which I was awarded an MD from Cardiff University. Additionally, I won prizes at the European Neuroendocrine Tumour Society (2009); the UK & Ireland Neuroendocrine Tumour Society (2008); and the British Endocrine Society (2009 and 2011) annual meetings for this research.

I am the editor of the Best of Five MCQs for the Endocrinology and Diabetes SCE, which remains one of the most widely read books by diabetes and endocrinology trainees in the UK. I have also published editorials and articles in peer-reviewed journals and contributed to book chapters on neuroendocrine tumours, thyroid and parathyroid disorders in various textbooks.

I successfully completed the MRCP UK in 2015; the Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism SCE in 2016; the European Board Examination in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism in 2018; and finally my Acute Medicine SCE in 2020.

My clinical practice includes managing a wide variety of endocrine disorders, including diabetes mellitus, adrenal, pituitary, reproductive, thyroid, parathyroid and metabolic disorders, and acute medical conditions.

I am a Clinical Senior Lecturer and Consultant Physician for Diabetes and Endocrinology at Cardiff University and the University Hospital of Wales. I am on the Society for Endocrinology Clinical Committee and am also a Co-convenor of the SfE Thyroid Network, and was recently appointed to the 2020 SfE Leadership and Development Awards program.

I have received awards at both national and international conferences for my work and have over 50 publications including key publications in JAMA, Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology and Nature Communications.

I am a Consultant Diabetologist at Singleton Hospital, Swansea and have a specialist interest in benign thyroid disorders and antenatal diabetes clinics. I completed my MBBS from the N.T.R University of Health Sciences (2006), followed by my MRCP (UK) in 2012 and finally the MRCP SCE in Diabetes and Endocrinology (2017).

I am passionate about teaching, having presented several interesting topics on diabetes, endocrine and general internal medicine in local departmental teaching sessions and in specialist registrar teachings.
