BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

I, Dr. Zara Khalid Khan did my graduation (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery - MBBS)

from Foundation University Medical College (FUMC), Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2011. I have

completed my one year experience of House Job in the subjects of Gynecology/Obstetrics, General

Surgery, General Medicine and Dermatology from Fauji Foundation Hospital (FFH), Rawalpindi,

Pakistan, with 3 months practice in each mentioned department, from 2012 to 2013.

I did my Post-graduation (Master of Philosophy – M. Phil.) in the subject of Biochemistry from the

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Army Medical College (AMC), National

University of Medical Sciences (NUMS), Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in 2019. During my M. Phil. course, I

conducted my research on the topic of "Identification of gene expression and mutations in

Apolipoprotein subfamily A member I and ATP - Binding Cassette Transporter subfamily A member I

genes in type 2 diabetes mellitus" at the CREAM - Centre for Research in Experimental and

Applied Medicine, LAB - I of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Army

Medical College (AMC), National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS), Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

I have been teaching and practicing Medicine as a subject in basics as well as in clinical sciences, being

2

fluent in English and Urdu languages. I am Registered Medical Faculty Lecturer & Registered

Medical practitioner (RMP) at Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), having a total

teaching experience of 7 years in the subject of Biochemistry. Teaching experience of 3 years was

obtained during my demonstrator ship at different medical colleges (Yusra Medical and Dental

College {YMDC}, Islamabad, Shifa College of Medicine, Islamabad and Foundation University and

Medical College {FUMC}, Islamabad) in the relative subject (Biochemistry), from 2013 to 2016. 2 years

experience in the relative subject (Biochemistry) was obtained during my M. Phil. training course at

Army Medical College (AMC), National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS), Rawalpindi,

Pakistan, from 2017 to 2019. 2 years experience as Senior Lecturer was obtained in the Department

of Biochemistry at Rawal Institute of Health Sciences (RIHS), Islamabad, Pakistan, from 2019 to

2021. Currently, I am working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Rawal

Institute of Health Sciences (RIHS), Islamabad, Pakistan, collecting an experience of additional 1

month in the respective subject (Biochemistry), since 1st June 2021.

Moreover, I have worked as a Medical Officer with Dr. Salma Kafeel Qureshi (Fertility Specialist) at

Salma & Kafeel Medical Centre and Infertility Services, Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2016. I have also

served as Junior Chemical Pathologist/Medical Officer at Islamabad Diagnostic Centre (IDC), F 8

Markaz, Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2018. There maintenance and the analytic procedures of the various

laboratory equipments concerning the quality control was monitored by me. I did digital reporting and

also gained the experience in the diagnostic microscopy under the supervision of senior pathologists. My

experience also encompassed the interactive sessions with the seniors along with the clinical & diagnostic

approach to the problems of the patients.

I have also learnt and worked on various Molecular Biology Techniques & Instruments that are currently

being used in the medical laboratories. I have attended multiple workshops too. Furthermore, I have my 2

publications in the Pak Armed Forces Medical Journal (PAFMJ), one in the year 2020 and second one in

the year 2021. I am confident that I can teach any subject of Medicine at the medical colleges to all the

students. Also, I can also practice confidently with full dedication as RMP (Registered Medical

Practitioner) or as Medical Officer, at any hospital/healthcare setting.

OBJECTIVES:

(Objective: To ascertain and identify risk determinants linked with and without dyslipidemia in

type 2 diabetic patients. Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Place and Duration

of Study: Fauji Foundation Hospital and Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from Jan

2018 to Jan 2019. Methodology: Total 90 subjects were divided into three groups; diabetes

with dyslipidemia, diabetes without dyslipidemia and controls. Their blood sugar, lipid profile,

HbA1c, hepatitis screening and anthropometric data were considered. Results: Out of 90

patients, females and males were 73 (80.2%) and 17 (18.7%) respectively. Dyslipidemic

females displayed higher LDL-C (3.29 ± 0.95) and lower HDL-C (0.74 ± 0.25) values, while

males showed high total cholesterol (5.60 ± 1.30) and triglyceride (2.88 ± 1.40) levels. Female

dyslipidemics and non-dyslipidemics exhibited highest HbA1c values (8.90 ± 2.25 and 7.81 ±

1.41). Female and male dyslipidemics displayed highest BMI measures (25.27 ± 3.44).

Conclusion: Significant associations were seen among type-2 diabetes mellitus subjects (with

and without dyslipidemia) and age, gender, HbA1c, lipid profile, BMI and obesity).

o ABSTRACT

(Objectives: To determine the development of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetics with and

without periodontal diseases. Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Place and

Duration of Study: Fauji Foundation Hospital and Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan,for

one year fromJanuary 2018 to January 2019. Patients and Methods: Total number of

participated subjects (males and females) was 75, with age ranging from 23 to 72 years. Their

tests included blood sugar, lipid profile, HbA1c and hepatitis screening. Oral health parameters

were divided into two categories; Type 2 diabetes mellitus with and without periodontitis.

Results: Out of 75 patients, males and females were 19 (25.3%) and 56 (74.7%). Females with

periodontitis 20 (74.1%) and without periodontitis 36 (75%) possessed larger numbers. Mean

ages [56.33 ± 10.88 years] had a higher incline, along with significantly altered total cholesterol

[5.41 ± 1.70 mmol/l], triglycerides [2.55 ± 1.46 mmol/l], low and high density lipoproteins

[3.01 ± 1.22 mmol/l, 0.97 ± 0.48 mmol/l] in type 2 diabetes mellitus with periodontitis. Patients

of diabetes without periodontitis showed mild derangements for triglycerides [1.88 ± 1.22

mmol/l]. Patients of diabetes with dyslipidemia and periodontitis [16 (59.3%)] were

documented highest in number, compared to other type 2 diabetes mellitus groups. Conclusion:

There was an overall significant association between type 2 diabetes mellitus related

dyslipidemia and periodontitis. Also, significant difference in age and gender of study subjects

was noted that affected middle aged females more often than middle to late aged males).

STATEMENTOF TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:

My teaching philosophy is based on the Qur’an and Sunnah. The holy Qur’an tells us that man is made

superior over all other creatures because of the knowledge he/she has. While the Holy Prophet peace be

upon him said: “I have been sent as a Teacher”. He also said in his farewell address while in the valley of

Arafat: “Those who are here listening to me must convey my words to those who are not here”. So when I

base my teaching philosophy on these ideals I conclude that:

1. I must respect all students and consider myself as a sister figure to them. Hence no student is a bad

student. The teacher can make a student good or bad.

2. No student should be left behind, as the Prophet peace be upon him said: “The weak is the leader

of the caravan”. So I must move with the class as a whole.

3. No question is a bad question. All questions are good questions. They need to be heard carefully and

answered. If I know the answer I should reply, otherwise simply admit that I don’t know and ask for

some time to find the answer and come back. Staying honest is the best reward for oneself and should

also be done for the sake of ALLAH as you will be answerable to him for your every deed.

4. Students must be encouraged always to pursue their studies and be advised to be present in class room

prior to the coming of the teacher.

The Presence of the students in the class room is classified into three kinds:

17

Physical Presence, to make sure their attendance does not go short.

Mental Presence, to be very attentive and ask questions (any question). Asking questions may be

given some separate marks to encourage the students to actively participate in the class room

environment of learning.

Spiritual Presence, by inculcating in the students the concept that learning is a worship, and they

are rewarded by Allah for seeking knowledge, as the Prophet peace be upon him said: “When a

person goes out of his/her home seeking knowledge, the angels, the trees, the pebbles and even

the fish in the oceans, ask Allah for his/her forgiveness”.

I try my best to relate the learning process with the practical life of the students, so that they can be

good citizens, eventually participate productively in the development of their community and become

good doctors.

Finally, I try my best to make the class room environment tension free and make the learning process

an interesting experience for the students.

HOBBIES:

Reading good/informative/medical/religious books, cooking, house decoration, involvement in youth and

their personality development, event organization and lend a helping hand or a medical support to save

the people/land as far as humanly possible.

SKILLS:

1. Positive attitude and positive reinforcement.

2. Able to do work under pressure.
