Excellence for Educational Leadership

My educational leadership is characterized by institution-wide change, faculty capacity building, and the translation of educational innovation into sustainable systems. I have been selected as an advisor and fellow at international organizations including FAIMER, Advance HE, and the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS), where I contribute to educational strategy, faculty development, and scholarly initiatives.

I designed and led a course on the ethical use of AI, training more than 1,000 participants globally across medicine, health sciences, and education. The course addressed governance, academic integrity, assessment design, and responsible use of generative tools, and has informed local policy discussions and faculty practice.

I led the conversion of the UGME curriculum from face-to-face to online delivery, developing detailed implementation plans covering delivery modes, attendance tracking, assessment logistics, time zones, and faculty and student adaptability. I conducted intensive training sessions, developed video tutorials and flowcharts, and led the first online summative examinations at AKU Medical College in June 2020. These protocols were subsequently adapted across postgraduate and master’s programs.

I built faculty and teaching assistant capacity to deliver online team-based learning and flipped classroom sessions across multiple modules, including Renal and Endocrine Reproduction. These initiatives were documented and published, and later adopted across postgraduate and master’s programs, establishing a standardized institutional framework for online delivery and assessment. I also conducted workshops on concept mapping tools such as Coggle, shared best practices through institutional platforms and social media, and facilitated the first online RTT workshop.

I led an international collaboration with the University of California, San Francisco, centered on the strategic adoption of “Students as Partners” as an educational philosophy. This collaboration resulted in international workshops delivered at SOTL conferences and the Asia Pacific Medical Education Conference. Participants reported sustained impact through long-term curricular, assessment, and research redesigns at their home institutions.

Collectively, these initiatives demonstrate sustained educational leadership through vision, collaboration, faculty development, and the translation of innovation into scalable academic practice.
