About Me

Hello and welcome to my ePortfolio!

My name is Sayyeda Ali, I am a foreign trained family physician from Karachi, Pakistan, affiliated with Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC). I immigrated to Canada some time back, currently trying to assimilate in the Canadian healthcare system. I am working on a Master of Health Studies through Athabasca University.

I’ve always had a profound interest in medicine, which initially led me to pursue a health sciences degree. I have developed my professional identity in line with the CanMEDS framework. I feel like a physician’s role is not limited to providing just medical care, I identify as a healthcare advocate, a confidant, an advisor, someone that my patients can turn to not just for their physical health needs, but also for emotional and mental health needs.

In my professional experience I have had the opportunity to work in a tertiary care hospital which provides healthcare to huge metropolitan city of Karachi, and its surrounding areas. Through this portfolio I hope to have a platform to project my thoughts and ideas, and to work on issues that I feel strongly about, I also expect this to be a place to house my personal as well as professional growth over time.
