From Islamabad to Irish Emergency Rooms
I graduated from Federal Medical and Dental College, Islamabad in 2021 — passing all my professional MBBS exams in the first attempt and earning four distinctions (Gold Medals). I also hold a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Punjab, Lahore. In the same year, I sat the IFOM Clinical Science Examination and scored 95%, earning a certification in Clinical Science Knowledge from the National Board of Medical Examiners.
I completed my house job at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad — one of Pakistan's premier teaching hospitals — rotating through General Surgery, Urology, General Medicine, and Paediatrics. Emergency medicine called to me early, and I went on to work at the Pakistan Air Force Hospital, Islamabad before moving to Ireland in late 2023.
In Ireland, I worked at St Luke's Hospital Kilkenny — first as SHO and then as Emergency Registrar for two years. I passed all my MRCEMs icluding MRCEM OSCE, MRCEM Primary (154/180) and MRCEM Intermediate (137/180) in my first attempts. After two rewarding years building my emergency medicine career in Ireland, I'm now taking the next step — joining the NHS as a Specialty Doctor in Emergency Medicine in the UK.
I built this platform because I know what it's like to prepare for MRCEM as an IMG — with limited guidance, expensive resources, and no peer community. I want every candidate to have what I didn't.
