March is the month for this reminder, but please do not forget this once this month ends. A tiny polyp taken out at the right time can prevent a potential cancer down the line!
Screening saves lives. Start at 45. #ColorectalCancer is rising in younger adults. That's why average-risk adults should start screening at 45. Don't wait! If you have a higher risk, like a family history or genetic syndrome, or signs and symptoms talk to your doctor about screening even earlier! Not sure about your risk level? Take our screening quiz to find out what's right for you: fightcolorectalcancer.org/re…

Thank you #ACG2024 for giving me the opportunity to present my work and learn from all the great minds. I met my mentors from different institutions and connected with some old friends which made the experience complete. I will be honest that I was also excited about this photo.

Much needed change of perspective.
Perspective: health standards over beauty standards 🧠

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting my abstract on Babesia, Lyme disease and HLH at #SHMConverge24. Excellent choice of topics for the lectures, including integration of the medical field with AI.

Extremely happy I was able to attend #GMFH2024 and connect with mentors. Good to see how much we are progressing in understanding the effect of gut microbiome on different health parameters. Excited to see how microbiome based therapy will influence management. @AGA_Gastro

March is colorectal cancer prevention month. Remember, 45 is the age to start screening if you are at an 'average risk'. Please discuss any risk factors with your PCP that might warrant an earlier screening. Let's also not forget the value of fiber: DOI:doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(1…

Eid Mubarak to those celebrating!!!! Prayers and blessings for those who are facing a tough time and are not in a position to celebrate. Please be mindful that the Delta variant is spreading rapidly - celebrate with extreme precautions. Even if you are vaccinated, wear masks.

Overconfidence is one quality to definitely avoid during the pandemic.
No country/continent should even think of declaring victory unless they’ve vaccinated over 60-70% of their population. Including Africa that’s largely spared so far… COVID punishes complacency and arrogance
Excited to publish the work of a Teaching Associate @akuglobal, especially in the light of challenges brought by the pandemic. A special thanks to the faculty who mentored us. @f_mustansir @doctorsadia1 @KulsoomGhias Link: jcpsp.pk/article-detail/onli…

Proud of my institution which never fails to impress even in the most pressing conditions. As one of the online examiners, it was a valuable skill to acquire.

Extremely proud of the entire @IMInterestGroup team!! You are not only educating these students about #COVID19 but all the people they will eventually educate. With the recent surge of cases, we need maximum awareness. Keep up the good work!
We kicked off our online #COVIDー19 course for high school students across Pakistan with a wonderful lecture on the 'Natural History of SARS-CoV-2' by @AbdullahUQ

There is no limit to the amount of encouragement and support that our healthcare workers need. And there is no limit to the creativity of the youth of Pakistan.
Adeena Musheer (Nixor College), from our #COVIDー19 internship, wrote a beautiful poem in solidarity with healthcare workers! @AdilHaiderMD @ayesha_mian1 @FyezahJehan #Solidarity #Pakistan

I am extremely thankful to the entire team of @IMInterestGroup who flawlessly organised this talk. Thank-you @MaryamBaqir, @ZarrarKhanMD and @amnaaijaz94 for providing a unique perspective on IM Residency in the US.
We’d like to thank @ZarrarKhanMD, @amnaaijaz94, @MaryamBaqir for taking the time out to give back to their Alma mater @AKUGlobal and speaking at our talk on what the experience of being an #InternalMedicine resident in the US is really like #residency #medicine

A creative fight against misinformation led by students from all over Pakistan. Extremely grateful to the team of @IMInterestGroup for managing the project efficiently.
As part of our high-school outreach project, several young students from all over Pakistan have joined us in raising awareness and fighting misinformation on #COVIDー19 , and standing in solidarity with all the front line workers! #solidarity #stayhome #coronavirus
