I graduated from the University of Cambridge in June 2024 with an MB BChir (MD equivalent), receiving a Distinction and Examination Prize from Trinity College. During my time in medical school, I was involved in more than 200 surgical cases; 150 were in cardiothoracic surgery and assisted as 1st/2nd assist in 80+. I am interested in a clinical academic career in cardiac surgery and have put a deliberate pause in my clinical training to embark on a direct-entry PhD at the University of Toronto beginning August 2024.I completed my BSc with First Class Honours from the University of St Andrews, with a dissertation funded by a national award from the Royal College of Physicians and Wolfson Foundation. I have been the recipient of three research awards (Laidlaw, Wolfson, RMS) and four academic prizes (Medal in Medicine - top 6 in year, Principal's Scholarship - top 50 across university, Distinction - top 15% in year, Trinity Examination Prize).I hold a national leadership role as Mentorship Lead in the Society of Cardiothoracic Surgery (SCTS) INSINC student committee. In this role, I have established an inaugural outreach program in Cambridge for students from widening participation backgrounds intending to apply to medicine, with a comprehensive week of work experience at Royal Papworth Hospital and tailored workshops on personal statement writing, medical ethics, and interview preparation.I am passionate about medical education and 'extending the baton'. I recently completed the Cambridge Clinical School Teaching Certificate and have delivered lectures and small group teaching to Cambridge medical students and internationally with collaborations between a consortium of Pakistani medical schools.My community service includes voluntary positions as Co-President of the Cambridge University Surgical Society, Welfare Officer in the Clinical Student Society, Year 5 Class Representative, and teaching ballet and pointe, for which I received an Outstanding Contribution award from the St Andrews Dance Society.
