PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Rheumatology I undertook regular outpatient clinics as well as looking after the rheumatology inpatients as a Honorary Senior Registrar at King’s College Hospital. I was involved in the Rheumatology audits of King’s College Hospital. I am working as a Rheumatologist in The Medical Subspecialties Center in Jeddah At different Hospitals, I teached medical students in clinics. In addition, I have given seminars and talks in many local, national and international postgraduate meetings. Management As a result of these studies, I have increased my experience in writing and assessing protocols. As I was involved in both the clinical and laboratory aspect of the studies, I learnt the importance of time management and organization. I established Rheumatology departments at King Fahed Hospital (1993) and Saudi German Hospital in Jeddah (1992). Also, I have successfully established Pediatric Rheumatology clinics at Maternity and Pediatric Hospital, Jeddah (1993).
